Respondent: Bedford Borough Councillor

Representation Summary:

VISION AND OBJECTIVES
2.1 :
We broadly support the vision as set out although believe that it is too town oriented and is contradicted much of what is included elsewhere. For example, as we will point out later, the several references to sustainability are not consistent with the continued emphasis on rural growth. As the Sustainability Appraisal clearly shows that the most sustainable strategy is that of urban development yet this, as with the 2030 Plan provides only a small part of the total in the options put before residents.
