Welcome to the Buckinghamshire and Milton Keynes Association of Local Councils
We are your membership organisation representing Town, Parish, and Community Councils across the geographic county of Buckinghamshire.
Spanning approximately 50 miles from Milton Keynes in the north to Fulmer in the south, our members serve communities ranging from just 100 residents to over 40,000. These communities are diverse, covering both rural and urban areas with varying needs.
With 218 members and complementary membership for Parish Meetings, our mission is straightforward – to represent and support the needs of our members.
