  • Harpur Trust 450 Anniversary Art Competition
    HARPUR TRUST 450TH ANNIVERSARY ART COMPETITION Schools Pack Children and schools in Bedford Borough are invited to take part in an exciting new art competition – The Harpur Trust 450th Anniversary Art Competition which will take place over the 2015/2016 academic year. We have developed this competition to celebrate our 450th anniversary. Throughout our history, we have been inspiring and supporting people within the Borough of Bedford, using the legacy of our founder Sir William Harpur to provide and promote education, to provide relief and help to those who are sick, in hardship or distress, and to provide recreational facilities with a social welfare purpose. Above all, we want everyone to have pride in their community and to be given opportunities to realise their own potential. As such, we are delighted to offer this competition which we hope will inspire local children to explore their artistic talent, and to encourage them to engage in a project which could result in their work being displayed to the general public in an exhibition at The Higgins Bedford in the Summer of 2016. ENTRANTS The competition is open to all 7-16 year olds who can enter individually or through their school. Schools can enter as many art works as they wish in one or more of the following categories: Category 1 Ages 7-11 Years 3, 4, 5 and 6 Category 2 Ages 11-14 Years 7, 8 and 9 Category 3 Ages 14-16 Years 10 and 11 Category 4 Age 16-18 Years 12 and 13 COMPETITION THEME The theme of the competition is ‘Recording Bedford’ and entrants are required to create an imaginative artwork which reflects an aspect of Bedford or Bedford life at some point during the Harpur Trust’s 450 year existence.

    Bedfordshire People Past and Present 1 Bedfordshire People Past and Present This is just a selection of some of the notable people associated with Bedfordshire. Bedfordshire Borough and Central Bedfordshire libraries offer a wealth of resources, for more detailed information see the Virtual Library: www.bedford.gov.uk or www.centralbedfordshire.gov.uk Click on Libraries Click on Local and Family History Click on People The Local Studies section at Bedford Central Library also holds an archive of newspaper cuttings, biography files, an obituary index, local periodicals and books, including A Bedfordshire Bibliography by L.R. Conisbee, which has a large biography section. 2 Bedfordshire People Past Offa (? -796 BC) King Offa, regarded as one of the most powerful kings in early Anglo-Saxon England, ruled for 39 years from 757 to his death in 796. It is traditionally believed that he was buried in Bedford, somewhere near Batts Ford. Falkes De Breaute (1180-1225) A French soldier and adventurer, Falkes's loyalty to King John was rewarded with a number of titles. The king also gave him Bedford Castle, which Falkes held until 1224 when it was besieged and demolished by King Henry III. Falkes escaped and fled to the continent but died on route from food poisoning. Queen Eleanor (1244-1290) The sad death of Queen Eleanor links her to Dunstable. She died in Lincolnshire and King Edward 1st – her husband – wanted her to be buried in Westminster, thus the body was taken back to London and passed through Dunstable. The king ordered memorial crosses to be erected at every place the funeral cortege stopped overnight.

  • Survey Report May 2011
    Survey Report May 2011 Introduction Background The Stations Travel Plan aims to transform the Bedford Midland and St Johns stations into effective sustainable transport hubs. The plan, which has been developed by the Bedford Stations Travel Plan Steering Group, will achieve its aims by improving infrastructure and transport services in the area of the train stations. The plan will encourage train users to use more sustainable modes of transport to and from the stations such as busses and cycling. This will result in fewer people using their cars which will ease congestion, reduce carbon monoxide emissions and improve air quality. Many improvements are already underway such as better signage at St Johns Station and the Woburn Road contra flow cycle scheme As part of the station travel planning process a passenger travel plan was undertaken. Methodology The survey was produced as both a paper and online questionnaire. The survey was open from 15th March to the 4th April 2011, and was promoted in the following ways. On the morning of Tuesday 15th March and the evening of Thursday 17th March, staff handed out paper surveys to people using Bedford Midland Station. A box was placed in the station for completed questionnaires. A paper questionnaire was sent to all members of the Bedford Commuters Association. Questionnaires were handed out at a Marston Vale Community Rail Partnership event. A link to the online questionnaire was included on the front page of the council website and the consultations database. The survey was mentioned in several ‘Tweets’ from the Borough Council Twitter account (@BedfordTweets) which included a link to the online questionnaire.

INTRODUCTION Setting the Context Brickhill Parish Council is the only “urban” area in Bedford Town which is parished and has its own Parish Council. The Order creating the Parish of Brickhill was made in 2004. A Community Governance Review was conducted for Brickhill in 2008 which resulted in the establishment of three Parish Wards. A further review June 2016 conducted in 2013 resulted in the inclusion of Woodlands Park as a Parish Ward within Brickhill Parish and the exclusion of three smaller areas that continue to be a part of Brickhill Borough Ward, namely BA2, BA3 and BA4. The Parish is served by 15 Parish Councillors across the four Parish Wards. There are five polling districts covering the Parish with the designation letters BA1 (Brickhill East), BB (Brickhill North), BC and BD (covering Brickhill South and West) in Brickhill Borough Ward, and NP (Woodlands Park) which is part of the Great Barford Ward.
