Thank you to everyone who took part in the consultation

Thank you to all those who got involved in the consultation on the Greyfriars development brief, which showed the proposed redevelopment and told us what you thought. We received some great feedback and helpful comments about the plans which influenced the final version of the document which was recently approved by Bedford Borough Council.

The Brief sets out the vision for the future of the area, along with aims and principles which will guide any regeneration.

The approval of the Greyfriars Development Brief by the Council is an important step in the regeneration of the area but there is still much to be done before anything happens and no final decisions have been made by bpha.

We would like to work with you to continue to develop regeneration proposals for the area and to understand how any changes might affect you and your family. There will be further opportunities in the Autumn for you to let us know what you think and how they should be developed as we start to look at designs in more detail. This will involve looking at the design of new homes, and new blocks, as well as public areas such as new streets, gardens, and squares and much more.

Your views are important to ensure that regeneration of the area meets your needs and aspirations for the future and so that we can address any concerns that you may have.

We look forward to working with you, in the meantime if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch with the team by emailing info@bpha.org.uk or calling 0330 100 0272.
