Mione Goldspink's Article for the Bishop's Stortford 'Flyer' - May 2012
Several controversial topics have cropped up this month. The proposed new pedestrian bridge over the railway line at Johnson's Crossing is provoking very strong feelings - some people feel it to be an essential safety measure, whilst others think that it would be a huge monstrosity, and that it is not really necessary. They feel that the lights, gates and sirens which have already been introduced are quite satisfactory. It is interesting to note that many people who are against the bridge appear to be the ones who live nearest to the line and who actually use the crossing as it is. It is interesting also, that Network Rail has not consulted with local people to find out their views, and has not been granted planning permission yet, although work has already started to prepare the site. Personally, I would like to see a bridge to keep people safe, but would like to see a smaller version of the one proposed, which would not be such an eyesore.

2012 Council Election Results
After a tough night across the UK, nationally the Liberal Democrats have lost many dedicated and hard working councillors. Although in areas where there was a Liberal Democrat MP we did much better, increasing vote share and gaining council seats (Portsmouth,Cheltenham,Eastleigh,Southport, Cheadle and Colchester.)

A Sporting and Cultural Feast in Bedford Borough
There's always a lot going on in and around Bedford at the weekend, but as Friday night approaches this weekend deserves special attention. Tonight, for example, sees the Bedford Blues take on London Welsh in the First Leg of the Championship Play-Off semi final. The Blues have had another fantastic season, and are set to play in front of a big crowd tonight at Goldington Road. There's always a tremendous, family atmosphere at Goldington Road, and no doubt the Blues will receive passionate, well-deserved backing as they go about trying to establish a lead to take into the second leg. Fingers crossed!
