Local Lib Dem Cllr Tim Hill has been working with representatives of the Sir Malcolm Stewart Trust and Borough Council officers to tackle the issue of replacing rotting window frames on the Sir Malcolm Stewart Homes estate.
Works to significantly improve Allen Park in Bedford have been completed and officially unveiled in the last week.
The stage is also literally set in Harpur Square, with free live music on the 'BedRocks' stage hosted by the Oxjam Bedford team having kicked off yesterday afternoon. Shakespeare in the Square followed yesterday evening, with No Loss Productions' performance of Much Ado About Nothing.
In and around Bedford town centre this weekend, you will find great arts and cultural events everywhere you turn. Tomorrow sees the Bedford's Big High Street Showcase, with the High Street closed to traffic for one day and taken over by a festival of the very best of the High Street, of Bedford and of the surrounding area. What stands out for me is how businesses and community groups in the area have really taken on this concept and are putting on a fantastic day's entertainment tomorrow.
Tomorrow at 1pm I will be joining hundreds of parents, children and large numbers of members of our community at large to make clear at a public demonstration that we simply cannot do without essential children's hospital services here in Bedford. The demonstration has been organised by the Save Our Riverbank Ward Group on Facebook, which now has well over 6,000 members. Please have a look there for the very latest on the arrangements for the protest, which will be a powerful expression of the disgust felt by so many that these services should have been allowed to be lost from our local hospital, and of the urgent need for them to return in full as soon as possible.
