The plans for a science park in Renhold are ridiculous.

• There is no need for a science-campus proposal in this location.

• Bedford is and never will be a science or research location like Cambridge or Oxford.

• This proposal is in direct competition with the proposed new settlement and related employment provision at Little Barford, which is only 7 miles/11km to the north-east of the allocation sites.

• Why not put your warehouses there instead where there will be less impact on rural life and, importantly, new infrastructure to support such a vast project?

Please listen to your electorate and act responsibly. This plan is ill conceived. So please think again.
