Bedford Borough Council has worked with the Government and BT to bring the national broadband rollout programme to Bedford Borough.

The cabinet is based on Maskell Drive but serves both areas.
The construction of a completed western bypass will go ahead after Mayor Dave Hodgson announced that the Council has successfully overcome the array of obstacles blocking the crucial project. The Council is now issuing tender documents and building work is expected to start as soon as September.
