Bedford Bypass Inquiry

At the public enquiry for the proposed Bedford southern Bypass protestors argued that a bridge should be built beneath the road to allow cyclists and pedestrians to use the former Bedford-Sandy railway line.

This was turned down and the Bypass will go ahead without making any allowances for cyclists, pedestrians, etc. The railway will never re-open once the bypass is complete as it would then cost £2m to build the bridge.

Help is urgently needed in getting the council to fund the bridge and stop the

road being built.
