My-MK launches City Centre AccessAble Guide - plus BID member grant

centre:mk shopping centre is one of the City Centre businesses committed to making Milton Keynes an inclusive City for everyone

Today MyMiltonKeynes has launched a brand-new digital accessibility guide for Milton Keynes City Centre, to give disabled residents and visitors the tools to plan their visits with confidence.

The guide covers seven key areas: The Hub, centre:mk, Midsummer Place, 12th Street, The Place Retail Park, Xscape and Unity Place. It provides detailed information on step-free routes, hearing loops, Changing Places toilets, quiet spaces and more, all verified by trained surveyors and featured on the AccessAble website and app, which is used by over six million people a year.

We are now inviting local businesses to build on this work by commissioning their own AccessAble Detailed Access Guides, and has created a dedicated toolkit and match-funded grant scheme to support them.

Jill Farnsworth, CEO of My-MK, said: ““We’re encouraging and supporting our BID member businesses in getting their own AccessAble Guides because we see accessibility as absolutely vital to the future of our City Centre. This isn’t just about doing the right thing, it’s also good business. With the Purple Pound worth £274 billion, improving accessibility isn’t a box-ticking exercise, it’s a smart investment that opens the door to more customers, more loyalty, and more inclusive growth.”
