The employment options are very poor. You are trying to generate growth, mostly based on warehousing type jobs or jobs in social care. Both types are poorly paid and do not allow people to better themselves. You are creating a brain drain in Beford and not enticing employment for degree / masters / phd educated people who perhaps want to live and work in the local area. You are keeping wages low, but only approving land for warerhousing and logistics.
Furthermore these employment types are often insecure or through agency / contract. They are not suitable for people who may not be able to perform heavy lifting for example.
I'm really disappointed in Bedford's employment strategy overall
