November 2024
Following a public call out for nominations for the next MK Rose Pillar, the Independent Pillar Panel met in October. Having considered all the nominations, the Panel was unanimous in choosing Milton Keynes’ City Status 20 May 2022 for the next Pillar dedication.
We had a fantastic response with 30 different nominations for dates significant to the lives of people or organisations associated with Milton Keynes. The Panel was thrilled by the number and variety of the nominations received and the level of interest shown by everyone who had taken time to make a nomination.
Thank you to everyone who submitted a nomination recognising individuals and events that have shaped Milton Keynes. We will be looking at how we can recognise the significant dates of other nominations that were not successful on this occasion.
We are currently in touch with the Artist Gordon Young to agree and finalise the wording for the inscription and all being well and subject to our fundraising, the inscription should be complete in 2025.
