Sir - As a regular visitor to Bedford it amazes me how often the council appears to have a self-destruct tendency with its historic town.
'Depressing' sight of new development
Sir - The sketch of the proposed development which accompanied your report (Hotel group looks at town's North project) last week is extremely depressing.

Sir - The Castle Quarter, an independent voice for independent local business, welcomes the move by Bedford BID to seek a solution to the parking issue in Bedford Town Centre in the run-up to Christmas.
