Following the appeal inquiry, the inspector granted 3 years temporary planning permission subject to numerous conditions. The Borough Council planning officers are making regular visits to the site to monitor progress and have invited Parish Council representatives to meet with them on a bi-monthly basis to discuss any matters of mutual concern. We will also be discussing progress towards the the Borough Council’s allocation of sites for the 25 additional pitches that they are required to provide by 2011. The New Unitary Council On 1st April the County Council ceased to exist. Services which they provided became the responsibility of Bedford Borough Council. Inevitably the reorganisation has resulted in changes. However, representatives from every parish council may now attend a quarterly meeting with the borough officials to review progress and discuss problems. We are pleased that Jane Walker was re-elected as ward councillor as she has provided invaluable advice and support over several years.
