Para 2.2 – SUPPORT with comments

The vision themes which aspire to a ‘Greener’, more ‘Accessible’ and ‘Prosperous’, Borough with ‘Better Places’ for all to use and enjoy, provide a positive platform for the plan. However, without clearer and more specific targets and timescales to support the ambition to make “Bedford a net zero carbon emissions borough whilst improving, enhancing and creating green infrastructure and spaces,” the prospects of making substantial progress will be considerably weakened.
