BEDFORD BOROUGH COUNCIL LOCAL PLAN REVIEW This review provides for growth beyond 2030. PCllrs Barry, Gossage & Stone have attended briefings on the topic. As the 2030 Plan has only just been adopted, most of the policies with that Plan will not be revisited as part of this review. The numbers of new homes needed are uncertain at the moment, as the government is currently amending the calculation formula. However, it is expected that there will need to be an additional number of homes in the Borough somewhere between 9,000 – 21,625 by 2045. As usual, a Call for Sites has taken place, which closed on 14/8/20. The options in the review are: • further regeneration within the Bedford/Kempston urban area brownfield sites. • expansion of the Bedford/Kempston urban area. • expansion of other urban areas such as Rushden and St. Neots. • development along the A421 corridor between Stewartby & Great Barford. • development around a potential East West Rail northern station (location to be determined). • new settlements in locations with good accessibility. This includes the potential option for a new village at either of the following: Thurleigh Airfield (which B&KPC raised concerns about previously), Colworth, Wyboston, Twinwoods, & new added proposal at Wymington (which includes a railway station). Previously Colworth had been identified as the preferred site for a new village, when it had included a railway station, however the railway station fell through. • dispersed development throughout the borough. Bletsoe Parish Council are considering appointing a Planning Consultant, & have invited 21 other Parish Councils to share the cost. This could be a problematic approach as Parishes are most likely to want to focus the Consultants attention on the proposals that most affects their own parish, & to get 22 Parishes to agree the same views seems unlikely. Given that most of the proposals we are aware of at this stage are not close to Bolnhurst & Keysoe, it is probably not good value for money for this Parish. The Thurleigh Airfield option is likely to be the one to cause the greatest impact on this Parish. Once the sites have been short listed by the Borough Council, we will have a better idea. The public consultation on the review closes on 4th September 2020 link - https://www.bedford.gov.uk/planning-and-building/planning-policy-its-purpose/local-plan-review/ It was RESOLVED that Councillors will consider putting forward any comments to the Clerk by 31/8/20, so that a submission can be made. Councillors can also make their own personal submissions. TO APPROVE THE FOLLOWING PAYMENTS: Bank Account Reconciled 6/8/20 - £24,162.34 Payments approved: Worboys – grass cutting £420.00 P Heming – handyman £60.00 G Wiggs – Clerks account £516.47 Beds Pension Fund £162.68 HMRC – Income Tax £49.40 11. HIGHWAYS & RIGHTS OF WAY PCllrs Stone & Gossage have met with the ROW Officer to go through the list of actions. There is also a possibility that a volunteer group can be put together to deal with some of the minor defects. 3 Bolnhurst & Keysoe Parish Council 12. COMMUNITY SAFETY PCllr Gossage reported that PC Kerry Jones should be returning to work soon. PCSO James Dancer has been a welcome addition to the team & he attended the VJ Day event in Keysoe on Saturday. A new PC has just been appointed. Reported crime has been low. 13. SPEED REDUCTION PCllr Browning reported that the survey has been issued to all homes within the Parish asking for the views of all household members over the age of 10 years. (some children are upset by speeding traffic and feel unsafe, and so it was felt they had a right to make their opinion known). The survey gives Parishioners options to consider, but obviously it is hard to be too prescriptive when seeking views. Equally giving too many choices on a survey of this type is not manageable when trying to interpret responses. However, it is hoped that this survey will give an indication of the current views of residents. The survey captures details of where Parishioners live, which will help identify any commonality relating to different parts of the Parish. The survey was kindly printed by PCllr Bates and was attached to the Parish Newsletter, and has been publicised on social media.

    Minutes of a Meeting with Bedford Borough Council Highways Department, Borough Cllr. T. Wootton, and representatives from Staploe, Little Staughton, Colmworth and Bolnhurst and Keysoe Parish Councils on Wednesday 19th February 2020 at 2pm at Keysoe Village Hall, Keysoe Row West, Bedford MK44 2JE Present: Andrew Prigmore (Bedford Borough Council Highways Dept.), Borough Cllr. T. Wootton, Lucy Crawford (Clerk to Staploe Parish Council), Cllr. Veronica Zwetsloot (Staploe Parish Council), Cllr. Kevin Head (Little Staughton Parish Council), Cllr. Gordon Johnstone (Wyboston Parish Council), Cllr. Martina Perry (Bolnhurst and Keysoe Parish Council) and Cllr. Beverley Brightman (Colmworth Parish Council). Apologies: Gareth Turner (Bedford Borough Council Highways Department) 1. Consider the introduction of a 50mph limit on Bushmead Road All the parish councils represented supported the introduction of reduced speed limits on the Bushmead Road to a maximum of 50mph but KH suggested it should be 40mph in places. They recounted witnessing several nasty accidents on the road (one requiring an airlift to hospital). They also recounted many near misses some of which they believed were due to large HGV’s passing at speed when the road is not wide enough and cars being forced into the middle of the road by potholes. They acknowledged that recent repairs had improved the worst areas of the road but were concerned that some areas with failing patches had not been addressed. Andrew Prigmore explained that the worst areas had been repaired at a cost of approximately £70K but they had to choose the worst areas due to their limited budget. He reported that police data showed that none of the accidents on the road had been directly caused by excess speed.
