  • Marstonmarston Moretaine, Central Bedfordshire Marstonmarston Moretaine, Central Bedfordshire
    MarstonMarston Moretaine, Central Bedfordshire MarstonMarston Moretaine, Central Bedfordshire Marston Thrift represents a unique and exciting opportunity to create a viable and sustainable new village community of 2,000 homes close to Marston Moretaine in line with the Central Bedfordshire local plan. What you see here is only the beginning of the journey, we will deliver: • 2,000 new homes, including a range of home types and tenures. We will work with the country’s best housebuilders to craft homes of the highest quality. The range of homes will be designed around fresh air, green space and excellent connections • A 50 bed extra care facility • Two new lower schools and one new middle school, delivered alongside the new homes to cater for the increased demand for school places • A community hub with healthcare, retail, and leisure opportunities • Improved walking, cycling, and public transport facilities, including a dedicated ‘park and change’ facility • An extension to the existing Millennium Country Park, providing a significant new area of open space for new and existing residents to enjoy • A new community woodland delivered in partnership with the Forest of Marston Vale Trust, contributing to the overall objective of increasing woodland within the Marston Vale 1 2 Marston Thrift is not reliant on significant new infrastructure and benefits from the recently completed improvement work carried out on the A421. The site is free from physical constraints, in single ownership and has immediate accessibility to existing transport connections. We are therefore capable of delivering housing early within the plan period, with the first residential completions anticipated within three years, of obtaining an outline planning consent, helping to meet Central Bedfordshire’s strategic housing needs from the outset.

  • 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.
