About Us

Milton Keynes Forum was founded in 1989 to contribute to the development of civic awareness and to encourage informed participation in the life of the growing city.  We are an independent voluntary organisation without any affiliation to any political party, business or pressure group.
 
Our members bring a range of specialist technical and professional expertise and Milton Keynes Council is represented on our committee.
 
Our explicit aims are to “educate, enable and encourage”

1. To educate our members and the public generally about issues facing Milton Keynes
2. To enable those who live and work in Milton Keynes to influence its future
3. To enable the people of Milton Keynes to continue to create the social and physical environment to which they aspire, and
4. To encourage in Milton Keynes the varied social and cultural life that will make it a civilised place in which to live and work.

 
We arrange public and members’ meetings on issues affecting the city and we aim to be a constructive “critical friend” by responding to consultations, meeting with key people and providing representatives to contribute to specific committees and reports.

Since our formation our remit has become narrower with the growth of other organisations in the city and we now concentrate upon the physical environment and the built heritage of the new city.
