[holding answer 1 February 2008]: Milton Keynes Partnership is a Committee of English Partnerships, and its targets are laid out in its 2007-08 to 2011-12 Business Plan, which is a public document available on its website (www.miltonkeynespartnership.info). These include:
the need to develop a visionary plan for Milton Keynes;
the need to increase the pace of housing delivery and employment growth consistent with Government targets;
to ensure the timely delivery of infrastructure provision;
to enhance the quality of life in Milton Keynes;
to encourage effective community and stakeholder engagement; and
to support community cohesion.
The performance targets are reported on annually, each March, and monitored by Milton Keynes Partnership Committee, the Local Strategic Partnership and are subject to regular scrutiny by Milton Keynes council’s external scrutiny panel. The Government also monitors and reviews the Business Plan before it is set.
