Brand New Olympic Distance Triathlon in Bedford Town Centre
Bedford Harriers are hosting a new Olympic-distance Triathlon, to be held in Bedford Town Centre on Sunday 11th August. With the backdrop of the magnificent Embankment, the River Ouse and the well-known Suspension and Butterfly Bridges the event has the potential to rival any other triathlon event both locally and nationally.

Tory cuts have made it easy for County Lines drug traffickers
Responding to the National Crime Agency's report on the spread of 'county lines' drug traffickers, Bedford Boroughh Liberal Democrat police and crime spokesperson Councillor Sarah Gallagher said "When children as young as 12 are being exploited by drug gangs, the Conservative Government's approach clearly needs to change. We need to stop both the supply and demand of illegal hard drugs."

Social housing neglect due to lack of political will
Responding to calls from housing charity Shelter for more social housing, Bedford Borough Liberal Democrat Spokesperson for Housing Dean Crofts said "Conservative Ministers have neglected social housing for far too long. The housing crisis is leaving people unable to afford a home of their own or, even worse, without a roof over their head. Councils building social homes for rent is not only the quickest and most cost-effective way to produce the maximum amount of homes, but it is so important due to the secure tenancy they offer vulnerable tenants."
