Pints in the Parishes in Wootton Tomorrow Night!
A new programme of 'Pints in the Parishes' events gets underway tomorrow night, at The Chequers pub in Wootton. These sessions are intended to provide an opportunity for me to hear directly from anyone who wants to discuss the issues important to them in an informal, local environment. They are also a chance for for me to show my support for local, community pubs. I will be in The Chequers from around 7.30pm.

Bedford Borough Council publishes Budget Consultation
Bedford Borough Council is asking for your views on its Budget for 2023/24.
Consulting on the Very Difficult Decisions Ahead
You may have seen in the press or on the local TV news that this week we published proposals to achieve the £10 million-plus savings required for Bedford Borough Council's budget to balance next year. There are a number of very difficult decisions involved, and that is why we are publishing these proposals so early (the measures ultimately agreed will not take effect until April 2011) in order to enable a genuine, full and open consultation. These potential savings have been identified in order that the Council can continue to provide the services which match residents' priorities, and to ensure that the shortage of funds for Councils are not passed on to local taxpayers as we continue our drive to freeze Council tax next year.
