New faces on the way at Milton Keynes Council even before a vote is cast – and why you will get two borough votes in some wards
At least 11 new faces will be elected to serve as councillors in Milton Keynes borough following the elections on May 6 – and that’s GUARANTEED.
A combination of factors have come together to see more than half the 21 seats up for grabs this time round not being fought by sitting councillors.
A ballot box
Most of the seats up for election would have been fought in May 2020 but were postponed because of the pandemic. May 2021 was due to be a “fallow” year, with no elections, but the postponements have filled the gap for election junkies.
