Bedford Borough Council last night pulled out of the Bedfordshire Energy and Recycling Project, signalling the end of the plans of the former Conservative County Council to build an expensive, environmentally harmful incinerator.
One of the things I enjoy about being a councillor is the chance it gives me to meet people from all walks of life. As candidate for Mayor this gives me a great reason to meet even more people than usual. Today I popped into the monthly Coffee Morning at Maydenbury House in Brickhill for a nice cup of tea and chatted with many of the residents.
I was out and about in Brickhill today, meeting residents and some of the local Lib Dem team. Charles Royden and Wendy Rider are excellent local councillors and have been hard at work in Brickhill since their election.

Conservative-run Buckinghamshire County Council has decided to build a mammoth 600,000 tonne waste incinerator near Stewartby village. The news comes just days before Bedfordshire Conservatives' plan for a 200,000 tonne rubbish burner at the same location is set to be blocked following a successful campaign by the Liberal Democrats.
