The magazine can be downloaded at the bottom of this webpage, and features in this issue include:

• A look back at 30 years of Bedfordshire Matters, plus a round-up of 30 of our favourite countryside spots in Bedfordshire.
• Our views on the Local Plans in Bedford Borough, Luton Borough and Central Bedfordshire - which will determine the level , type and location of development over the next fifteen or so years – and the huge threat of needless countryside loss Bedfordshire faces.
• A report on the proposed Oxford - Milton Keynes – Bedford - Cambridge growth corridor - the UK’s ‘Silicon Valley’- which could lead to a massive ribbon development of a million homes along the 80 mile stretch.
•  Plus a round-up of the branch’s events and activities, including our photo competition for 2017 and an introduction to our newest trustees and volunteers.
