Latest figures show Bedford Boroughs council tax rise to be the 11th highest of the country's 238 shire districts. This has sparked anger from local Liberal Democrats who campaigned to see council tax reduced and services saved for borough residents.
Commenting on today's report from the Government's Sustainable Development Commission, Norman Baker MP, Liberal Democrat Shadow Environment Secretary, said:
Dear Editor,
Plans by Bedfordshire County Council to postpone the start date for a permit scheme for use on it's tidy tips, whilst a new information leaflet is drawn up have been slammed by Borough Liberal Democrats as completely missing the point.
Local borough Councillor Myrtle Stewardson is naming and shaming local roads that she believes have been abandoned by Bedfordshire County Council.
