Ward boundaries
Draft recommendations on the new electoral arrangements for Milton Keynes City Council have been published by the Local Government Boundary Commission. It is proposing that there should be 60 councillors representing 20 three-councillor wards. Most ward boundaries will change, one (Tattenhoe) will stay the same.
The Commission is the independent body that draws these boundaries. It is reviewing Milton Keynes to make sure councillors will represent about the same number of electors, and that ward arrangements will help the council work effectively.
The Commission wants to hear what residents and local organisations think about the proposals. A twelve-week consultation on the proposals will run until 24 February 2025.
The Commission’s review page contains links to useful guidance and maps of the current wards and proposed new wards, the full report on the proposals including a review timetable.

The recommendations will be finalised next summer and in 2026 all Milton Keynes City Councillors will be up for election in accordance with the newly established wards
Parliamentary boundaries (these are unaffected by the commission’s review)
Milton Keynes is divided into three parliamentary constituencies. Each constituency has one Member of Parliament. These are Buckingham and Bletchley (which also covers part of Bucks Council, including, Buckingham, Winslow, Great Brickhill and Quainton), Milton Keynes Central and Milton Keynes North.
