Milton Keynes South Midlands Strategic Growth Area (MKSMSG)
In response to the proposed growth in housing development for the wider region VAL has joined with other CVS for discussions on the needs of local communities as these new communities emerge, as well as the impact for local areas affected by the growth. These are early days, however, regional planning developments are now well in hand and the community and social welfare aspects need to influence and impact on these plans.
