Local Liberal Democrat Councillor Tim Hill has been campaigning for several years against the "boy racers" and "speed merchants" who have treated Stewartby as a race track, especially during the summer months.
Following on from Bedford Borough's successful inclusion in the Government's 'Rural Broadband Programme' to roll out Superfast to 90% of premises and at least basic broadband to all, Mayor Dave Hodgson has confirmed the Council's commitment to provide the £1 million required to ensure the Borough benefits in full from the Superfast Extension Programme to expand superfast access to at least 95% of properties by 2017.
Following a period of continued pothole repairs, Cllr Sarah Holland is pleased to report that Greycote has now been resurfaced. The road was closed for approximately 11 days in April, during which time it was resurfaced- hopefully bringing an end to the problems for local residents.
Nearly £1million in match funding is expected to be made available by Bedford Borough Council, to help superfast broadband reach thousands more homes and businesses.
Following the tremendous success of last year's first ever Big High Street Showcase in Bedford, this Saturday will see Bedford High Street once again taken over by a very special summer festival of fun showcasing the best of the High Street, the wider town centre and of Bedford Borough.
On Saturday 14th June from 9.30am - 4.30pm, Bedford High Street will be taken over once again by a special summer festival.
