Central Bedfordshire Council urges residents to be at the heart of their new Local Plan

What makes a great place to live? That’s the question Central Bedfordshire Council is asking as it begins to develop a new Local Plan.

The Local Plan will shape the future of new homes, jobs and infrastructure, recreation and leisure, transport, local facilities, and green spaces, in the years ahead.

Central Bedfordshire Council wants to hear residents’ views on six themes:

• Access to outstanding new or improved green space and nature
• Jobs that are easy to get to
• High-quality, well-designed homes for every stage of life
• Excellent transport options, including walking and cycling
• Great local facilities such as roads, schools, shops, and parks
• Respecting and enhancing the unique character of our towns and villages
