The Local Government Boundary Commission are asking local people and organisations for their help to draw up new ward boundaries across Bedford Borough. The Commission has also announced that it is minded to recommend that the council should have 46 councillors in the future.
Bedford Borough Council has five Committees that review and investigate issues that matter to local people and local communities, as well as reviewing the Council’s own decisions and policies. These Committees are called ‘Overview and Scrutiny’ Committees and are made up of elected councillors who are not on the Council’s Executive.
We would like your help to develop next year’s agendas. What do you think that the Committees should look at?
