Central Milton Keynes Town Council
CMK Town Council is the parish council for Central Milton Keynes and Campbell Park residents. We meet at Centrecom once a month on the 1st Thursday of each month (twice in June) and all meetings are open to the public. The agendas for our meetings are varied, but will always focus on matters directly affecting CMK.
The Town Council is one of 45 parishes across the whole of Milton Keynes and represents about 3,500 residents from the station to the far end of Campbell Park.
Our work focuses on influencing the borough council (Milton Keynes Council) to deliver better services and to make better decisions for our residents (on local development proposals and licensing applications, for example). We also partner with them on a number of projects to improve the quality of life for our residents.
We have 8 councillor positions across 3 wards within the parish. Occasionally there are vacancies. If you are interested in finding out more, why not contact us at clerk@cmktowncouncil.gov.uk
