Rents and service charges: responding to your feedback

Following the Rents and Service Charge consultation in 2023 to 2024, new charges were introduced from 1 April 2024. We are grateful for the feedback received from tenants and leaseholders, which highlighted concerns about estate maintenance and contractor management.

In response, we worked with the Environmental Services Team and the 19 parish councils responsible for these services to improve how we operate and increase the level of work delivered.

Improving housing landscapes across Milton Keynes

We have continued with our commitment to transform several communal open spaces in and around our housing blocks, making them usable and welcoming once again for tenants. Alleyways, footpaths, car parks and garage areas across Milton Keynes and surrounding villages have been cleared, improving access and safety for everyone.

Service Charge by parish during 2025-2026

The Landscape Housing team has been busy over the past year, working across a wide range of housing areas in Milton Keynes.

We’re committed to restoring these neighbourhoods to a standard that’s easier to maintain and more enjoyable for residents. This work is part of our ongoing programme to improve priority areas across the city.
