Area Info
the heart of the new city The new city centre has provided an opportunity to incorporate
the best qualitites of established city centres with all the modern
requirements for accessibility. Central Milton Keynes is without
doubt the main hub of the city with business, commercial, leisure
and food halls surrounding the shopping centre. The business sector
extends from Marks & Spencers end of the shopping centre to
the railway station.
In this area there is also the leisure plaza,
Argos Superstore, Homebase, etc. Access to the city centre is easy
by just following the sign posts from the M1 motorway at junction
13 or 14 or the A5. Milton Keynes road system itself is split into
horizontal and vertical roads based on an American road system and
ensures easy access and movement around the city.
Traditional towns
and cities struggle with traffic congestion but because Milton Keynes
has been planned with the car user in mind it does not suffer from
the same problems and the so called rush hour hardly exists. |
