Very bad news for Goldington bus users with Stagecoach's savage cuts to our buses taking place from 31 May, that's Sunday. No. 10 - CUT. No. 7 - CUT. No. 4 - no longer serving Brookfield & The Boundary. No. 5 - no longer serving Norse Road. You can see all the Bedford routes here: https://www.bedford.gov.uk/files/stg-bedsa5-booklet.pdf/download?inline
Thank you to those who signed our petition to save the buses - unfortunately it was not enough this time to make a difference.

🚨 More Chaos at the Council 🚨 The Mayor hand picked Cllr Rigby as a member of his cabinet – but now Cllr Rigby has resigned saying that “I felt that I could no longer stay in his cabinet any longer.” This throws the already bankrupt council into further chaos. If the Conservatives are criticising their own Mayor’s leadership then, for the sake of local residents, it is long past the time when the Mayor should go.

Is the Mayor's ship is sinking?.....glug

Mayor's ship is sinking: time for him to resign
Following the news that Councillor Robert Rigby, Portfolio Holder for Adult Services in the Conservative Mayor's Executive, has resigned with immediate effect, Councillor Henry Vann commented:

"The Mayor’s ship is sinking. Councillor Rigby was only reappointed as Adult Services Portfolio Holder last week and he’s already decided to leave the sinking ship. However, Councillor Rigby has played his full part in this chaos, presiding over a Requires Improvement judgement on Adult Services and the effective bankruptcy of the Council. The public will not be fooled by him pretending to be an opponent of the Mayor's disastrous administration now and is clearly just worried about losing his seat of Bromham to the Liberal Democrats."
