Pioneering Jobs Hub to Open in Bedford Town Centre - Work is Underway

The opening of a new 'jobs hub' in Bedford Town Centre is now not far away, with refurbishment work now underway on the premises in Greyfriars. This is pioneering new scheme, which we have pursued through the 'Bedford Borough Partnership Board' (the partnership of local public sector bodies, which I co-chair), will offer a unique approach to supporting people into work, training and business. The Hub is also being supported by Job Centre Plus, and will offer real support to people in an informal environment.

SUCCESS!! Kimbolton Road To Be Resurfaced

Local Lib Dem councillors David Sawyer and Henry Vann have been busy collecting signatures for a petition for Kimbolton Road to be resurfaced, and the Council has responded quickly and announced that the section of Kimbolton Road in De Parys ward will be resurfaced later in the summer. This is part of a series of major road resurfacing programmes that start in Bedford Borough later this month, covering a total of 38 roads as part of the Council's continuing commitment to investing in and improving the road network in Bedford Borough.

Full Steam Ahead in Support of East West Rail for Bedford

I have long campaigned with colleagues for the delivery of an East West Rail line between Bedford and Oxford to the West and Bedford to Cambridge (and beyond) to the East. Re-opening these links to major centres such as Oxford and Cambridge and to main lines to the east and west would provide a tremendous boost for our local economy, helping to attract investment and support jobs and growth. I was therefore delighted last autumn when the Government announced its commitment to deliver the Western section of the East-West Railway, between Bedford and Oxford and Bedford and Aylesbury.
