Milton Keynes City Council have confirmed some roads and most bus stops closed by a fire at MK Market last month have re-opened.

Roads in parallel to the centre:mk shopping centre had been closed following a fire in a stall at Milton Keynes Market on December 10th 2024.

While the market stalls had re-opened, roads were closed in order to allow for checks to be made on whether they were safe to re-open.

The update issued by the City Council has said that bus routes on Lower Ninth Street and Midsummer Boulevard have been mostly re-opened, while assessment is still being carried out on Secklow Bridge that passes directly over the market.

The update read, “Following a fire on 10 December 2024 at MK Market, bus routes on Lower Ninth Street and Midsummer Boulevard are running again, with all stops reopen apart from B4-E4 (westbound) in the Theatre District as work still continues. The taxi rank on Midsummer Boulevard is now open as normal.

“We’re still carrying out safety works in the area to determine the extent of repairs needed to Secklow Bridge and other infrastructure.

“The majority of the stalls at MK Market have reopened. We’d like to thank everyone who has supported the stallholders over the festive period and encourage you to continue this in 2025.”
