There is a complete absence of any recognition of the need for a sustainable network of safe segregated cycle routes across the Borough, e.g., north/south linking Wixams (bridging the A421) to Milton Ernest through the centre of Bedford.
There is also no mention of a safe segregated cycle route to Bedford Station. It is deeply unsatisfactory that the there is still no segregated cycle route to Bedford station from any direction.
Cycling is the way forward at a time of climate change and biodiversity loss. It will improve the health and wellbeing of residents.
