About

Stantonbury ward sits in the northern part of Milton Keynes, bordered by the Grand Union Canal to the west and the main railway line to the east. Its residential areas are primarily composed of estates built from the 1970s onward, featuring a mix of housing types and layouts. The ward contains several large secondary schools and the expansive Stantonbury Campus, which combines educational facilities with community leisure services.

The area's landscape is characterised by the linear parks and tree-lined grid roads typical of the city's design. A central feature is the presence of the ancient Bradwell Abbey, a medieval monastic site now operating as a historic and environmental study centre. This green space and historic structure provide a distinct contrast to the surrounding modern residential developments, offering local walking routes and a tangible link to the area's pre-new town history.
