Merry Christmas!

A short note to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas. This morning I am looking forward to visiting the maternity unit at Bedford Hospital, the Cygent Wing, and giving my best wishes to all staff, to new parents and possibly saying hello to any Christmas Day arrivals! Later on I'll be visiting Bedford Concern for the Homeless and Rootless's (BECHAR) Prebend Day Centre as its Christmas Lunch is prepared, before going on to Bedford Fire Station and saying thank you to those on duty.

Tackling Speeding in our Communities

Talking to residents across the different parts of the Borough, it is clear that a common concern for our communities is speeding traffic. Speeding motorists can blight our neighbourhoods, endangering themselves and other road users and pedestrians. I have made tackling speeding in our communities a priority, and am committed to taking real action to make our roads safer. I've launched a Speed Limit Review which is likely to see a string of problem roads, especially those in residential areas, have limits reduced. We are also looking into the use of average speed cameras which would be easy to move at short notice to tackle speeding hotspots and make a real difference in bringing speeds down and taking enforcement action. Talking of enforcement action, this is of course the responsibility of the police, and I am working with the police to ensure effective enforcement takes place across the borough.
