Respondent: Mrs Susan Mountford

We live close to Bedford town centre so have no personal axe to grind about the local plan and growth.

However, please could you record that both my husband and I would choose option 2c for growth as it would concentrate the development in a smaller area, so spoiling less of the countryside. We would like to avoid dispersal of settlement all over the place. Please do not build in Cardingtom and Cople. These are real villages with thriving communities and should be preserved as such.

Have you considered where all the extra water, electricity and other utilities will come from? In our view green spaces in new developments and the allocation of land for the Millenium forest should have priority.

Susan and Duncan Mountford.
