Showing the Consumer Affairs Minister why there are Lots of Reasons to 'Buy in Bedford' this Christmas and Throughout the Year
Yesterday I welcomed Liberal Democrat Business Minister Ed Davey MP to Bedford Town Centre to discuss the regeneration activity going on in the town and to talk about the range of positive ways in which Bedford is responding to the challenges facing all town centres in the current climate. The visit coincided with yesterday's publication of the report into the future of Britain's High Streets by 'Queen of Shops' Mary Portas, and Mr Davey came to Bedford to see for himself how the Council, local businesses and residents are working together to improve their town centre now and in the future.

When Domino's Pizza on Station Road applied to stay open to deliver pizzas till 4:00 am every day local residents sprang into action. Worried about late night noise, disruption and rowdiness they organised a petition. Councillor Henry Gallagher invited a journalist who interviewed locals and took photos. However, once a date for the Licensing Committee was set and with your East Gosforth Councillors, the South Gosforth Residents Association and local residents all set to protest against the application, Domino's withdrew it!
