Cllr Gianni Carofano has argued that Bedford Borough Council must do more to support the town centre following the news that Marks and Spencer is to close its Bedford store on the 4th May 2019.

Bedford town centre would be given a ‘huge boost’ under plans from the Council’s Conservatives to provide 2 hours free parking every day.

A proposed increase in special allowances paid to Bedford Borough Councillors should be rejected, according to the Council’s Conservative Group.

Bedford town centre urgently requires a ‘vision for regeneration’ following a 4.82% reduction in footfall last year.
