Bedford Borough Local Plan 2040 Plan for Submission

Representation ID: 9184

Received: 10/06/2022

Respondent: Mr Russ Maddox

Representation Summary:

Many thanks for the brochure outlining the local plan for the future.

One thing that’s obviously missing from the plan, unless I’ve missed it, is where is the provision for a new or extra hospital facilities, or expansion of the NHS services? With endless house building and planning the local hospital is under strain (12 hour wait at A & E is not uncommon) yet no provision highlighted on plan.

Whilst funding may come from central government finances, surely you’ve made reservations about implimenting the plan, without seeking assurances about public services?
Thank you
