Milton Keynes Sport and Leisure Strategy 2009-2014
"Getting Milton Keynes more active more often"
The Milton Keynes Sport and Leisure Strategy 2009-2014 examines the current sports development issues in Milton Keynes. It then goes on to identify the future demand for leisure facilities and playing pitches in the area and explores how these should be provided in order to try and address the issues arising and to increase physical activity amongst all sections of the community.

What is Culture?
'Culture' is a term that means different things to different people.
Cultural participation is where people of all backgrounds come together with shared interests and passions. Together with the environment in which cultural activities take place, culture includes all the things that define our lives, connect our communities and us and represent the values we pass on to other generations.
