Respondent: Ms Sylvia Woods

Representation Summary:

Much more emphasis needs to be put on tourism. At the moment Bedford is just a dormitory town. A lot more could be done to promote our visitor attractions (much more obvious publicity for example) including re-opening the Tourist Information Centre.

However people will not visit without better parking - and longer parking (2 hrs free is not enough - see how Bedford hums on Sundays when parking is free).

Then what about coach parking within reach of what attractions we have?
