  • Elstow Stewartby and Kempston Hardwick July 17 Echo
    Elstow, Stewartby and Kempston Hardwick Echo July 17 Cllr Tim Hill My Son’s Graduation Day: It was my son’s Graduation Ceremony at Salford University on 20th July 17. He achieved a 2.1 in Business, Finance and Accounting. To say I am very, very proud of him is a totally inadequate description. Mayor Dave’s Village Tour: Mayor Dave Hodgson's 2017 summer village tour across Bedford Borough is underway. Dave has held a village tour every summer since he was first elected in October 2009, and this year's tour will see him holding walk-up street surgeries in 58 different villages across the Borough. Dave will be in our Ward on Monday evening – 7th August. All of you will have had by then, leaflets advising of where we will be and at what time. List of Reliable Trades People: In my last Echo, I pointed out that there are many single and vulnerable people in my Ward, many of them elderly. I said I would like to put together a list of local tradespeople that local residents have found to be reliable and inexpensive, with their contact details. The details would be put into a FOCUS Special for distribution throughout my Ward for people to keep and use. Several residents replied with nominations and I’d like to record my thanks to those who did, but I didn’t get as many as I hoped. So I thought I would give it one more attempt. If you have used a local firm for any job and you found them reliable and inexpensive, please let me have their details for use in the FOCUS Special.

    BEDFORD BOROUGH COUNCIL Update and Screening Assessment of Air Quality in the Bedford Borough October 2006 z Technical Services Group z Environmental Health Service z Pollution Control Section Third Round Updating and Screening Assessment for Bedford Borough Council October 2006 Third Round Updating and Screening Assessment 2006 Bedford Borough Council Acknowledgements The assistance of Rob Jamieson and Barry Williams from Bedford Borough Council is gratefully acknowledged in the production of this report. 2 Third Round Updating and Screening Assessment 2006 Bedford Borough Council Executive Summary The role of the local authority review and assessment process is to identify areas where it is considered that the government’s air quality objectives will be exceeded. The Bedford Council has previously undertaken the earlier rounds of review and assessment (R&A) of local air quality management and identified areas where the objectives are exceeded and where there is relevant public exposure. As a consequence, it has designated Air Quality Management Areas (AQMAs) for the annual mean nitrogen dioxide objective and sulphur dioxide objectives in the Borough. This report concerns the third round Updating and Screening Assessment. Local authorities are required to review and assess air quality against the objectives in the Air Quality Regulations 2000 and the amendment regulations as part of a rolling three-year cycle ending in 2010. The air quality objectives to be assessed are for the following seven pollutants: carbon monoxide, benzene, 1,3- butadiene, lead, nitrogen dioxide, sulphur dioxide and particles (PM10). This report provides a new assessment to identify those matters that have changed since the last review and assessment, and which might lead to a risk of the objective being exceeded.
