Minutes of a Meeting with Bedford Borough Council Highways Department, Borough Cllr. T. Wootton, and Representatives from Staplo
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. -

MARY WILKINSON – Interview No 23
THE COHEN INTERVIEWS MARY WILKINSON – Interview No 23 Edited by Tim Cook and Harry Marsh Annotation research by Diana Wray Transcription by Olwen Gotts for WISEArchive ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This is one of 26 interviews with social work pioneers conducted by the late Alan Cohen in 1980 - 81. The period of social work history Alan wished to explore with the interviewees was 1929 - 59. With one exception (No 24, Clare Winnicott), the interviews were unpublished until this edition in 2013. The copyright is held by the not for profit organisation WISEArchive. Each interview is presented as a free-standing publication with its own set of notes. However, readers interested in the Cohen Interviews as a whole and the period discussed are referred to: (a) the other 25 interviews (b) the Editors’ Introduction (c) the Select Bibliography. All of these can be found at http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/services/library/mrc/explorefurther/subject_guides/social_work ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mary Wilkinson The interview with Mary Wilkinson is the shortest of the 26 and in many ways the most difficult to categorise as the interviewee represents an older style of working, within the probation service, rather than the more pioneering and reflective approaches of the other 25 interviewees. Mary Wilkinson’s voice is however clear and forthright and offers valuable points to consider when reflecting on the history of social work development. She stayed in one area, Bedfordshire, all her working life (1939-1972) and placed great emphasis on the importance of having roots in the community and being widely known in the area. She saw this as enabling her to do a better job and was critical of those who perhaps only stayed for two years. -
