Local
residents are outraged at the way Central Bedfordshire Council is
pushing through housing development plans in Biggleswade with scant
regard for the Local Plan which is meant to guide future development.
What we need is meaningful dialogue with
local people on the scale and nature of development in Biggleswade
which has already seen large scale housing and commercial development over the last few years. It should not
be taking the easy option of developing Biggleswade because it
happens to own large areas of land in the area. We are asking Central Bedfordshire Council for a balanced approach to development across the county and meaningful consultation with local residents.If you feel the same please take time to support the petition.
All the open spaces are also being used for housing. Where are the parks and playing facilities for the increasing population. We have to travel to Bedford to enjoy these type of facilities, this cannot be right.
