Bedford Borough Local Plan 2040 Plan for Submission

Representation ID: 10375

Received: 29/07/2022

Respondent: Liberal Democrat Party Bedford Borough Council

Representation Summary:

• We note the significant difficulty in developing a Local Plan when the government has been unclear and delayed decisions on East West Rail. We support the corridor (route) as selected and have consistently shown our support to keep the existing four tracks north of Bedford Midland and for electrification from day one. The emphasis on sustainable rail-based growth is welcomed.
