Central Bedfordshire Council: We need your views please

Date Added: 26/09/2022

We maintain a list of high-priority roads in what is called a Resilient Highways Network.

During extreme weather such as floods, storms, ice, snow, and even heatwaves we prioritise these roads so they can remain available or can quickly reopen.

These key roads connect town centres and communities, industrial estates, and business parks. Keeping them in use helps maintain access to vital services such as schools, railway stations, important food shops, petrol stations, hospitals, police, and fire services.

They are typically the roads we grit when we have cold weather, as they are the most well-used and important routes that help keep towns and communities in Central Bedfordshire accessible.

The consultation runs until 9 October 2022.

Please take a few minutes to look at our priority roads and complete our short questionnaire at www.centralbedfordshire.qov.uk/consultations
