GRAHAM is delivering The Lakes Estate Renewal Project in Bletchley for Milton Keynes City Council.
Awarded through the Pagabo Major Works Framework, this two-stage design and build contract represents a landmark moment in the rejuvenation of the Lakes Estate, marking one of the first regeneration projects of its kind for Milton Keynes.
Originally built in the sixties, the Lakes Estate has played a crucial role in Bletchley's history but now needs renewal. With planning approval granted in 2022, the Lakes Estate Renewal Project aims to breathe new life into the area, addressing the need for new homes, improved amenities, and healthier living conditions.
This phase of the project focuses on the construction of 183 new homes. New community facilities will be also created, including a nursery, a community hub, and retail space, catering to the needs of residents living on the estate.
Some wider public realm work has already been completed with four new play parks and improvements to courtyards.
This phase of the project is due to complete in March 2026.
Following the original consultation and the consultation on the 4 play areas that have been upgraded on the Lakes Estate, the design for the new Warren Park play equipment incorporates this feedback and requests.
The layout and quantity of equipment has been increased to provide greater facilities for all, from pre-school children to teenagers and includes a gym trail and more equipment than originally envisaged at planning stage.
The pump track has been designed with the feedback from the consultation in 2023.
There are 3 new equipped play areas:
