We do live in a lovely part of the country, with a fair smattering of outdoor water to enjoy sports such as rowing (two rowing clubs on the river Ouse at Bedford), kayaking (one club on the Ouse at Bedford), windsurfing (on the lake towards Wootton), the lido at Hitchin. And I just recently learned of a lake near Clophill where people go on a hot summer day to swim: fantastic.
Now Bedford is hosting a consultation for building around Willington lake just outside Bedford to enable use and enjoyment by a wide range of activities and people (care homes, sports groups, hotel and leisure complexes). But the one aspect I'm not convinced about is the 'science and technology park'.
Too often, this is a blueprint for the busy-ness of cars and office workers, barren wastes of buildings not used outside of Monday-Friday office hours, all taking up space that would be more 24x7 appreciated by green space fans. Visit http://www.bedford-rowing-lake.com/ to say what you think.
It's your county, your lake.
