Mayor Marie Bradburn has made a special award to Luciana Smart, Major Projects & Development Manager at MK City Council, for her team’s successful delivery of a new Redway in the south of the city.

The new Redway inks Bletchley with the Blue Lagoon, a health and leisure destination hitherto hard to reach by active travel.

“Luciana is one of many Council officers who do great work with shrinking budgets and growing constraints,” said the Mayor. “It’s important we stop to recognise what they do for us all, and especially what Lucian’s team did here in making it easy for us to enjoy cycling as well as the beautiful scenery.”

Luciana and fellow officers joined the Mayor and MK’s Bicycling Youth Mayor for a ride on the new Redway.

“It was a very enjoyable afternoon, a sunny day in which we could appreciate the unique Redway infrastructure in MK,” said Luciana. “I was not expecting to be recognised for this project. It was a great joint team effort, and colleagues worked very hard to deliver these Redways to a good standard. Delivering projects and main infrastructure is our job, and we hope we deliver what the MK citizens want and need.”
