Mayor of Bedford Borough, Dave Hodgson has paid tribute to volunteers who have been working with the council to improve footpaths and the rights of way network across Bedford Borough. The works have seen improved bridges, stiles, steps, handrails, and byways. Over the past several months, the Council has been working tirelessly to refurbish and replace 20 of the most important bridges, install new gates to replace old stiles, and clear the byways of any debris or obstructions.
