I wish to object in the strongest possible terms to this proposal for a Science Park in open countryside which comprises the precious green gap between Water End Renhold and the roundabout leading to the A421 and the A4280.
Brownfield sites should be considered first before proposing development on greenfield sites.
Previously developed land in or immediately adjoining the urban area of Bedford should be utilised in the first instance, with the opportunity to adapt against climate change, rather than encroaching into the open countryside.
Take a look at the wildflower verges and the sheep grazing in the field and think long and hard before concreting over it, as biodiversity once lost, will not be recovered in our life time.
You have a duty to leave a lasting legacy for future generations-a legacy of which you can be justifiably proud.
If you decide to go ahead with this you will be damned for an eternity.
