Achievements

Publicity about roads and the housing growth and climate change. It certainly made people aware of the housing plans. Three Lib Dem County councillors who were very pro the road and the housing growth all voted out.

 

The Joint Transport Strategy and the Bus User’s Surgery heralds the start of better local transport for Leighton Buzzard.

 

Awareness of the need to consult, and have public and councils involved in the plans for the housing growth.
