Features in this issues include:

• Why now is a key time for all areas of Bedfordshire as local plans are being drawn up by each local authority in the county.
• A report on some of the planning applications that our planning team have responded to across the area, for housing, warehousing and for development on our Green Belt.
• As our judges are currently looking at entries for the 2016 Living Countryside Awards, we get an update of the Forager's Way from Friends of Tiddenfoot Water Park - a winner from 2014.
• Profiles on some of our newest volunteers and our vacancy for the post of trustee of the charity.
• Why local members love Bedfordshire!
