Sunday night saw the official opening of 'Number Thirteen', the brand new 'front-of-house' facility for Bedford Corn Exchange and high quality new town centre cafe-bar. The Council has invested in the long-empty former Saracen's Head property in order to improve the experience for concert and gig-goers enjoying the Corn Exchange, and the new facility is already establishing itself as an attractive addition to that area of the town centre.
Allhallows multi-storey car park and public toilets are to be given a £2.7 million refurbishment as part of the regeneration project to improve Bedford bus station.
Cllr David Sawyer and Cllr Henry Vann have recently been running some consultations in localised areas around De Parys regarding exciting changes on Caves Lane, Pemberley Avenue and Campbell Road:
Number Thirteen, Bedford's newest licensed bar and café, is now open for business!
There was more good news in our drive to open up the Council to local residents last month, after we won approval for our proposals to remove the remaining restrictions on public questions at Full Council meetings. This means members of the public now have the same rights to ask questions at Council meetings as councillors, with the previous limit of six questions or 30 minutes scrapped from the rules within the Council's constitution.
Climate change is a global issue and one that your local Lib Dems feel very strongly about; Bedford Borough Council has been nationally recognized for its hard work to combat climate change with a Public Sector Sustainability Award.
