Our MK officially Launched
23rd September - Transport Systems Catapult
The Our MK interactive website was officially launched at our Cheese and Wine Event last month.
As you already know from our previous newsletters, Our MK is a platform for all people living in Milton Keynes who want to have their say in shaping the future of MK. Individual citizens and local groups can share their ideas through the website and apply for up to £5K funding to run projects beneficial for the city’s transport, energy, water, health and environment. The website aims to generate exciting and tangible citizen-led projects in Milton Keynes.
The launch event featured presentations from the key people behind the MK:Smart project, including members of the Our MK team at Community Action: MK and the Open University, who explained the concept of this smart cities initiative in MK.
The real highlight of the event was a talk from Michael Sheppard, MK citizen, who has been announced as one of the first Citizen Ideas Competition winners.
