Bedford Borough - now and in the future

Bedford Borough has something for everyone. Bedford is a traditional market town with excellent educational settings and exciting cultural facilities. The River Great Ouse, with its Victorian Embankment, along with several Green Flag awarded parks and gardens, provide a high-quality environment in which to live and work. We also have many attractive villages across the borough. 

With vibrant cultural events like the Bedford Park Concerts and the River Festival, alongside a flourishing artistic community, the borough showcases its capacity to host major events and foster cultural engagement. 

We are in the heart of southern England with great connections to London, Cambridge and Milton Keynes. We have a skilled workforce that further enhances Bedford Borough's appeal for businesses and residents. A forthcoming civic agreement between Bedford Borough Council and the University of Bedfordshire sets the stage for collaborative efforts in education, research, and community development.
