The route to be taken by the Olympic Torch Relay when it comes to Bedford Borough on July 8th was announced this week, giving local residents the chance to start planning where they will experience the torch relay and cheer on the torchbaearers.
Mayor Dave Hodgson visited Leidos at the company's new facility on Bedford Link Park.
It was a year ago this month that we introduced a new, 'rapid response' Pothole Hit Squad service in order to repair more potholes, more efficiently, right across the Borough. We invested in new equipment which sees vehicles carrying a mobile 'hot box,' keeping the tar hot and ready to use while the teams are out and about. After years and years of chronic underinvestment in our roads, we have made huge efforts in the fightback to make our roads safe for all road users, and the improved pothole repair work sits alongside the increased resurfacing work as a key part of this drive.
In the second of a short series of posts here on mayordave.org.uk with suggestions for New Year's Resolutions on the theme of getting out and enjoying the facilities and attractions on offer in Bedford Borough, Mayor Dave Hodgson encourages everyone to use and enjoy their local parks and open spaces.
After the Christmas celebrations are over and all the decorations are down, if you cannot plant your real Christmas tree in the garden, don't forget to recycle it.
