To approve and authorise invoices received - (councillors will receive a copy of invoice payments at the meeting). See Appendix 7 Appendix 1 Great Barford pc: Update from Borough Councillors Stephen Moon and Phillippa Martin-Moran- Bryant - October 2019 New Junction on Bedford Road Many residents have expressed concern at the proximity of the new junction on the Bedford Road to the Cuckoo Brook bend. The junction will serve the expanded gravel pits. There is no doubt that when in use the lorries using it will, if turning in, impede traffic coming round the bend and, if leaving the site to go up the hill, attract tailbacks to the bend which will not be seen by drivers entering the bend. From comments that have been made the Borough Traffic Engineers understand either the volume or speed of traffic on this road. The Borough has now promised that there will be a Safety Audit to see what remedial steps might be taken but it does seem that, once again, they have relied on a "desk-top study" rather than any direct observation or local knowledge Bedford Town Centre Bedford High Street has been awarded a £2m grant as part of the Government's 'Historic High Streets' initiative. This will enable the improvement of shopfronts and buildings on the High Street and the adjacent roads (namely Mill Street, Lime Street and Lurke Street) and public realm works on Silver Street. Bedford has also been invited by the Government to bid for £25m of the £3.6bn 'Towns Fund' to improve economic growth. Further details are awaited from the Council as to the scope of its bid. Proposals should relate to 'transport, broadband connectivity, skills and culture.' Railways: East-West Rail and Wixams The preferred route for the East West Railway line is due to be announced very soon, the exact date is not known.

  • 1. Coronavirus in Bedford Borough As of 1
    Wilshamstead Parish Council Wixams Parish Council Bedford Borough Councillor Report: 1. Coronavirus in Bedford Borough As of 11th November there have been 2673 cases of Coronavirus in Bedford Borough with 43,033 individual tests. This is a positive test rate of 6.2%. In the preceding 7 days there had been 211 new cases of Coronavirus in the Borough. During the last month, there was a spike in case in Wilshamstead ward, with 12 cases for the week ending 28th Oct and 20 cases during the week ending 4th Nov after having been below 3 cases the week before that. In the weekly Borough produced figures, only wards with 3 or more cases are shown, as it is believed that if you show the number of cases when it's lower than 3, the individuals might somehow be identified - I'm not convinced of the logic on this, but that's what the Mayor tells me at his weekly briefings. I phoned the Mayor when the Wilshamstead numbers went to the top of the Borough list and he then arranged for the Borough Chief Officer for Public Health to contact me to give it some context. Whilst the conversation was in confidence and I am unfortunately unable to disclose specifics, I can tell you that I am confident and satisfied that the appropriate authorities and agencies are dealing with the Wilshamstead ward cases and there has been a drop to 9 cases in Wilshamstead ward for the week ending 11th Nov. I am sorry that I cannot be more specific than that, but I hope you understand the reasons why.

  • Bedford 80 Closed Road Cycle Event Sunday 19Th June 2016 Formal Description for Little Staughton Parish Council
    BEDFORD 80 CLOSED ROAD CYCLE EVENT SUNDAY 19TH JUNE 2016 FORMAL DESCRIPTION FOR LITTLE STAUGHTON PARISH COUNCIL Number of riders and organisation Maximum 2,500. The entrants will be required to cycle at a minimum speed of 12mph. All entrants advise us of expected speeds at the time of entry, allowing suitable groupings to minimise road closure. All riders will be expected to register at the Pilgrim Centre on the day before the event. The event is being organised in accordance with the guidelines of, and with the assistance of British Cycling who are also insuring the event. Route The route starts at Bedford Park gates and De Parys Avenue, before going down the High Street, along the Embankment, up Bushmead Avenue left onto Goldington Road, and onto Kimbolton Road. From there it exits Bedford Town via Cleat Hill before heading out to Ravensden, Wilden, Colesden, Great Barford, Colmworth, Little Staughton, Pertenhall, Swineshead, Risley, Keysoe, Thurleigh, and then back down into Bedford on the Kimbolton Road finishing on Park Avenue. All of these points are shown on the enclosed maps. Reason for a Closed Road Event Whilst the current increase in participation in recreational cycling is evident, there is also an large increase in the amount of events nationwide. Few of these are closed road. For the participants a closed road event offers a safe opportunity to be able to measure their abilities against others through timing devices. The Bedford 80 will, as with the other closed road events, be a timed event, where riders will be able to see the time taken to complete the course.
