The plan does not state what the strategy will be for the council be doing to attract businesses to the area and create jobs. A strategy on this needs to be included. Allocating land for employment will only prove useful if businesses set up here. As Bedford will be on the East West Arc, this should attract more businesses.
The plan needs to state what locations will the employment land be on or the principles for deciding on locations of employment sites. It would make sense if there was land on transport links, eg off A421 and near train stations.
