Working with our partners Glenbrook we hope to create 400 new homes across five buildings, as well as a café, canalside restaurant and a new cycleway that will connect the existing Redway network. Our plans also protect local wildlife, with biodiversity improvements, green roofs, and new wildflower meadows. We’ll hold a public consultation in Milton Keynes this week; if you’re in the area we’d love to meet you.
