Bedford Borough Council have finally published some information on Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC) in schools and other public buildings.
At Full Council Bedford Borough Liberal Democrats moved a motion to guarantee that Bedford River Festival will be protected with the same size and ambition as previous years.
Councillors were left astonished by the cost of the Conservatives planned £53 million of borrowing at a meeting. The Finance Portfolio Holder indicated that it would cost the Council around £5 million every year to pay for interest payments.
Councillor Michael Headley said “It is very disappointing the Conservative administration is not on top of this issue. During the cost of living crisis these grants have given important help for many local residents."
Bedford Borough Council’s Finance Portfolio Holder was forced to admit an almost £5 million error in what he said at two recent Council meetings.
The Council has announced £9 million to be allocated to the Capital Programme to provide the initial start-up funding for new GP premises.
