  • Wilshamstead Parish Council Wixams Parish Council Bedford Borough Councillor Report
    Wilshamstead Parish Council Wixams Parish Council Bedford Borough Councillor Report: 1. Coronavirus in Bedford Borough Many COVID-19 restrictions have been lifted today but it is still important to exercise caution. The Borough Council is asking people to: • Get tested regularly • Self-isolate if told to by NHS Test & Trace • If you can, wear a face covering in public places • Meet up with others outdoors rather than indoors More information about the lifting of restrictions can be found at the Government website: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/covid-19-coronavirus-restrictions-what-you-can-and-cannot- do 2. Vaccine rollout The vaccine rollout continues. There are a number of drop in centres available around the Borough where residents not yet vaccinated can go. Details of locations and times can be found on the BLMK CCG website: https://www.blmkccg.nhs.uk/drop-in-covid-19-vaccination-sessions-available-for-people- aged-40-and-over/ 3. East West Rail – Wixams Station A rather bad tempered meeting of the Borough Council took place on 2nd June, in advance of the end of the East West Rail consultation. My own concern has always been its impact on Wixams Station. At the initial consultation on EWR, there were five route options to consider, two of which went through Bedford Town Centre and three that took a southern route, broadly along the line of the A421. At the time, the Mayor asked me to support a route through the centre of town, stating that a southern route might prejudice Wixams Station, either delaying it further, or turning it into a ‘crossover’ station, with EWR, and potentially outside of WIxams.
