It is just 100 days until we have elections here in Bedford Borough.
Pints in the Parishes comes to one of Bedford Borough's most northerly villages tonight. I''ll be at the Three Compasses in Upper Dean from around 7.30, so if you're in the area please do come along and raise any issues of concern, interest or anything else you want to discuss.
Littering on our streets is utterly unacceptable. Words of condemnation are not enough, however, and that is why we are taking real action to crack down on this form of anti-social behaviour which can blight our neighbourhoods. In fact, there have been a few illustrations in the last few weeks of how our 'zero tolerance' approach in this area means that if you litter the streets of Bedford Borough, you should expect to face punishment.
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.
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.
