🌟 Milton Keynes has been longlisted for UK City of Culture 2029!

The city is one of just nine places across the UK selected to progress to the next stage of the competition and will now develop a full bid with support from residents, communities and local organisations.

At Get Around MK, we believe walking, wheeling, cycling and our iconic Redway network are a huge part of what makes Milton Keynes special. Active travel helps connect people, communities, culture and green spaces across our city every day.

We'd love to see active travel at the heart of the MK 2029 story. 🚶🚴
