LondonMetric Property Plc and Graftongate recently hosted a ceremony at Bedford Link Logistics Park to mark the start of construction of three new logistics warehouses. The event was attended by Bedford's Liberal Democrat Mayor Dave Hodgson.
There has been more bad news about the future of Putnoe walk-in Centre. Bedfordshire NHS commissioners (BCCG) have changed their plan to provide a 'like-for-like' walk-in centre replacement at the former North Wing hospital site, and instead are planning to close the walk-in centre altogether in May 2019, after first reducing its hours from this October. You can see local Liberal Democrat campaigner Christine McHugh discussing this on facebook.
Mayor Dave Hodgson has said a 'huge thank you' to everyone who visited and everyone involved in the 40th anniversary Bedford River Festival.
Visitors to the River Festival may have noticed the Virtual Orchestra in Riverside Square. The Virtual Orchestra is an immersive experience from the Philharmonia Orchestra and has a 10-room installation where you can play along and sit on stage with the orchestra.
Bedford's 40th Anniversary River Festival is this weekend, on Saturday 14th and Sunday 15th July. This year's event is set to be the biggest and best yet, and you can download a programme (including site map) on the council website at www.bedford.gov.uk/riverfestival.
