The City Council has been shortlisted for two awards in the New Statesmen’s inaugural ‘Positive Impact Awards’.
The awards celebrate organisations working to create lasting change and Milton Keynes City Council has been shortlisted for the ‘Positive Impact on the Environment’ award for its Sustainable Construction Supplementary Planning Document (SPD).
The SPD sets standards for developers, ensuring sustainability.
The City Council has also been shortlisted for the ‘Positive Impact on Transport’ award too for MK Connect.
MK Connect is aimed at residents who aren’t served by an existing bus route and don’t have access to other means of transport. Vehicles are shared by passengers heading the same way, with pickups typically within a couple of hundred metres of the passenger’s home.
The New Statesman Positive Impact Awards will take place on 6 December.
Leader of MK City Council, Cllr Pete Marland said: “We’re proud to be shortlisted for another set of awards for these projects which is a testament to the work we’re doing in MK to deliver well planned growth and renewal across the city.
"We’ll continue our work to ensure that we’re delivering the best services for our residents and leading by example on climate action and sustainable transport.”
