Severe concerns that Bedford Borough is being marginalised by a major review of local health services which could affect the future of Bedford Hospital were raised by Mayor Dave Hodgson and councillors at a full council meeting this week.
After a busy weekend down on The Embankment and in Russell Park, everything is packed away and Bedford looks back on the River Festival 2016.
With the River Festival almost upon us, here's a whistle stop guide to what you can expect to see, hear and taste at this year's event.
With the Bedford River Festival is just over two weeks away, Mayor Dave Hodgson has encouraged people to look into the opportunities to get involved in this 'genuine community event'. The event takes place on Saturday 16th and Sunday 17th July, and a vast array of activities and entertainment will be on offer at what is one of the biggest free family events in the country.
