About

Bletchley West ward lies on the southwestern edge of Milton Keynes. The area is primarily residential, characterised by a mix of housing types from post-war semis to newer developments. Its western boundary is defined by the Bletchley to Bedford railway line, with Bletchley railway station providing key transport links. The ward includes the local centre of Westcroft, which contains essential retail and service outlets for the community.

The area is historically significant as the former site of the Bletchley Park codebreaking operations during World War II, though the main historic estate itself is located just outside the ward boundary. Fenny Lock, part of the Grand Union Canal, marks a section of the eastern perimeter. Land use includes several playing fields and the Westcroft District Centre, serving as a practical hub for the surrounding neighbourhoods.
