Residents in Wootton have been left fuming after the County Council's road contractor left road maintenance works unfinished after striking two water mains, one of which continued to spew out water over a week after being burst. The works on Potters Cross remain incomplete despite the legal notice for the works stating that they would be finished by July 7th.

Fight to Save Bedford's Post Offices Begins as Blunder Reveals Local Branches in the Firing Line
Bedford Borough Liberal Democrats have launched the campaign to Save Bedford's Post Offices after the closure hitlist for the local area was revealed thanks to an internet blunder. Local Lib Dems have obtained a map published briefly on the post office website by mistake which appears to show that seven branches are identified for closure in Bedford Borough as part of the government's plans to close 2,500 post offices nationwide. This news comes in spite of the fact that the closure plan for Bedfordshire is not due to be announced formally until July 2008, with a "public consultation" to follow before closures are confirmed.
