Situation

Milton Keynes is one of Europe’s fastest growing towns benefiting from a
strategic central location in the UK. The current population is approximately
250,000 and is on track to become one of the top 15 largest cities in the UK by
2031. The population has increased by over 80% in the last 30 years, against a
UK average of just 8%.

Milton Keynes was developed as a regional economic centre and has the high-
est rate of business start-ups and number of businesses per capita in the UK.
The town is home to some major national and international employers with
Daimler Chrysler, Argos and The Open University having headquarters in
the city. With businesses continuing to locate here, unemployment levels are
among the lowest in the country.

It also has 4 dedicated conference centres alongside a range of sporting and
entertainment venues including the SNOzone at the Xscape complex and the
HUB complex which adjoins the Jurys hotel.

A new phase of development has just begun which aims to double the size of

bars and restaurants.
