Milton Keynes Street Lighting Association

Milton Keynes Street Lighting Association (MKSLA) is a voluntary alliance of Milton Keynes residents and global street lighting enthusiasts, allied with City of the Future, that exists to capture, record and protect the unique street lighting that was created and installed by Milton Keynes Development Corporation and its successors between the 1970s and the 1990s. The MKDC planned a complete system of unique, bespoke street furniture for Britain’s largest new town. For several decades this unique system was maintained and expanded, but since the late 2000s new installations have departed from the established style. Now, the introduction of new LED technology threatens to erase this key part of Milton Keynes’ distinctive heritage altogether, unless a change in policy can be achieved. MKSLA has a growing body of members including MK residents and people from outside the city who share a serious concern about our disappearing heritage.
