IT is a relief to be able to report that Bedford has no exposure to the Icelandic bank meltdown. Nor, as far as I am aware, have any other Bedfordshire local authorities. It seems we all learned the lesson of the Band of Commerce and Credit International collapse some 15 or 20 years ago in [...]

"Bedfordshire woman carrying the weight of golden expectation into an Olympic Games." We have been here before, of course.

Just received the great news that Bedford is to be a new unitary authority. For the people of Bedford, who have been sold short by a Tory County Council who think it is OK to pour their resources disproportionately into their heartlands and have sold Bedford short for many years, this is welcome news indeed. John Healey also announced two new authorities in Cheshire. The analysis is that this reorganisation...
