The Sunday Times has featured Bedford in its 'Best Places to Live' supplement, naming it in the top three places to live in the East of England. In a write-up full of resounding praise for the town and the surrounding area, it states that Bedford offers 'a great family-friendly lifestyle and first-class transport links.'

Commenting, Mayor Dave Hodgson said: "The Sunday Times is absolutely right that Bedford is a great place to live. And of course, its glowing praise for the town and beyond only covers a fraction of what makes Bedford Borough a fantastic place to live.'

"Bedford Borough offers a vibrant town with a growing cultural and events scene, great schools, beautiful parks, stunning countryside and much more besides. And I'm proud to work in the same cause as the many individuals and organisations working to make it an even better place to live."
