Borough's Roads Set for Record Investment as Mayor Dave Hodgson Announces £1 Million Injection

Liberal Democrat Mayor Dave Hodgson has announced a £1 million boost for local road and pavement repairs and resurfacing. The cash injection continues the fight back against years of chronic underinvestment by the former Conservative County Council which left streets in Bedford Borough crumbling and unsafe. Thanks to Dave Hodgson and the Liberal Democrats, if the extra funding is approved by the Full Council an additional £4 million will have been invested within two years in the Borough's roads and pavements over and above the level of funding under the old Tory County Council.

Pints in the Parishes at The Plough, Bolnhurst on Tuesday night

A belated thanks to Martin, Jayne and Michael and all their team at the Plough, and also of course to everyone at the pub on Tuesday night for the warm welcome on Tuesday evening at the latest 'Pints in the Parishes.' I enjoyed discussing a number of issues facing residents in Bolnhurst, Keysoe and other villages nearby. Speeding came up as a problem, as it did more commonly than any other issue during my recent village tour. I have a meeting with the Chief Superintendent next week, and will be discussing again how the Council can work most effectively with the police on effective speeding enforcement across the Borough.
