BEDFORD

Is the county town of Bedfordshire. The town has a population of around 80,000, whereas the had a population of 166,252 in 2015 together with . Bedford is divided into ten organisational structures referred to as wards and is also part of a larger structure in conjunction with three other smaller municipalities, Elstow, and Kempston, which along with the town itself form the Bedford Urban Area. The management of Bedford’s wards differs, as three are governed by community councils (Cauldwell, Kingsbrook and Queen’s Park), one is managed by a parish council, which works in a similar manner (Brickhill), whilst the other six (Harpur, Goldington, Castle, De Parys, Putnoe and Newnham) do not feature such institutions. Due to intense immigration during the 20th and 21st century, which resulted in a very diverse population, Bedford has developed a cosmopolitan culture, as its ethnical components include many people of Italian, Asian and Eastern European origin.
