The Castle Quay development is set to welcome its first restaurant, with one of the three units in this attractive area having been let. The 'Riverside Grill' will open in the summer, and I was delighted to welcome representatives there this week.
I am delighted to have been elected as the first Chair of the new Bedford and Milton Keynes Waterway Consortium. Following the sterling work of the volunteer-run Bedford and Milton Keynes Waterways Trust in taking the project to a stage beyond the capabilities of a charitable trust, I am looking forward to working with the ten other partners who join Bedford Borough Council in working jointly to take make further progress.
