Bedford Borough Council has joined forces with Bedford and District Citizens Advice Bureau in backing the third Big Energy Saving Week, which takes place from the 27th to 31st January 2014.
More than 8,000 homes in Bedford Borough will receive 'superfast broadband' by 2016 as part of a new local broadband project that has successfully secured Government funding.
The first phases of the £8.8million redevelopment of Bedford bus station are now open to the public.
A £50,000 project to repair and renew some of the historic balustrades along The Embankment in Bedford town centre is now underway.
A project to improve broadband speeds around the Borough took another major step forward today when Bedford Borough Council and two neighbouring councils signed a new contract with BT Openreach which secures £2.6m of extra funding on top of over £6m of Government and local funding.
Accelerating the installation of superfast broadband across Bedford Borough, delivering the 'missing link' of the Bedford Western bypass, a brand new bus station for Bedford and stimulating new business investment in the borough. These are just some of the actions in an ambitious plan to help the borough grow and prosper in the coming years.
