About

Loughton is a residential neighbourhood in Milton Keynes with a mix of housing, local shops and community facilities arranged around the area’s green corridors. Loughton Brook runs through the district and its banks are used as a walking and cycling route that links the neighbourhood into the city’s redway network. Community life centres on a small parade of shops, a primary school and a community hall where local groups meet; bus services run along the main roads to other parts of Milton Keynes. Housing ranges from terraces and semi-detached homes to later infill developments, laid out with short streets and pedestrian links that prioritise walking between homes and local amenities.

Parks and tree-lined open spaces sit between residential blocks and include play areas and pocket meadows that double as informal flood storage when the brook is high. The area’s paths and bridges reflect Milton Keynes’ approach to separating cyclists and pedestrians from traffic, making short local trips possible without a car. Local volunteer groups also look after small wildlife areas and community planting projects along the brook.
