The town hall office block is making way for a brand new public square, which will link the River Great Ouse with St Paul's Square, as part of the multi-million pound riverside development.

Lib Dem Mayor of Bedford Borough, Dave Hodgson, said: "The demolition of the town hall office block and its replacement with a new riverside public square is a major development for the town centre. We want everyone to have the chance to see this major change for their town centre happening for themselves. That's why we've made these live images available for all to see online.

"This is the first step in a riverside regeneration scheme which will bring millions of pounds of investment and new jobs to Bedford, as well as giving people more reasons to come and enjoy the town centre. These include the return of town centre cinema, new riverside restaurants and more, in addition to the new public space."

The redevelopment of the riverside area includes a new public square, linking the town centre with the river and a new public footbridge. The wider scheme also includes the reintroduction of a town centre cinema, new opportunities for riverside dining or relaxing, new jobs and a major boost for visitor numbers.
