The consultation is to invite representations on the Bedford Borough Local Plan 2035. The Plan explains where new development is proposed to meet the borough’s growth needs to 2035. Several consultations have already taken place to invite views on the main issues covered in the document and consultation responses have helped to shape the plan’s policies.
Of particular note are proposals to re-use brownfield sites in the urban area of Bedford and Kempston, and the development of a new garden village at Colworth near Sharnbrook. The garden village will be served by a new parkway rail station delivered ahead of new housing to offer sustainable travel into Bedford and beyond and to intercept traffic heading south on the A6 destined for Bedford rail station. The plan’s strategy identifies growth in village locations, the majority of which will be identified by local communities in neighbourhood plans.
The Bedford Borough Health and Wellbeing Board was established in 2011. It is a statutory board of the Local Authority and Clinical Commissioning Group with responsibility for building strong and effective partnerships, which improve the planning and delivery of services across the NHS and local government.
Underpinning the work of the Health & Wellbeing Board is the Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy. We are consulting on a new strategy and would like to invite you to have your say.
Ahead of the merger between the Bedford and Luton and Dunstable Hospitals we are encouraging local residents, particularly those from Bedford Borough, to sign up as Foundation Trust members. This is to ensure future membership of the newly integrated Foundation Trust will fully represent the population that both areas serve. Foundation Trust members have a say in how the hospitals are run, how healthcare is provided to patients and can voice their concerns or make suggestions about future plans.
