Residents with a national concessionary bus pass can continue to travel for free on early morning buses. Following negotiations with commercial bus operators the Council has now agreed a new long term deal which achieves savings for local taxpayers while retaining the local extension to the concessionary travel scheme which enables use of the pass before 9.30am for journeys within the borough.

Calling all Rural Areas
Help Bedford Borough Accelerate
with Faster Broadband
The Borough Council is working on a project using nearly £1m of Government and Local Partnership funding to significantly improve broadband speeds across the Borough and especially rural areas where commercial forces aren’t making it happen.
A whole range of benefits can come from this including economic growth and improved access to a full range of public and other services.
You can help this to happen by registering your interest in faster broadband on the Council’s broadband web page at www.bedford.gov.uk/broadband. It will encourage broadband infrastructure providers to respond positively to the invitation to work with us which we will issue to them in a few months time.
It only takes a minute or so to complete the very simple form so please help if you can.
Thank you.
