About

Monkston ward is located in the north-western part of Milton Keynes, bordered by the A422 and the areas of Kents Hill and Kingston. The layout follows the city's characteristic grid road system, with the main H8 Monks Way passing through. It is primarily a residential area, consisting of housing estates built from the late 1980s onwards, featuring a mix of detached and semi-detached homes. The ward includes the distinct neighbourhoods of Monkston and Monkston Park.

The area contains several local amenities, including a parade of shops and a community centre. Green space is integrated throughout, with Monkston Park providing recreational fields and a children's play area.
