Earlier this month, Richard was invited to attend a public meeting of Milton Ernest Parish Council. The meeting follows a recent visit with Parish Councillors to the village pumping station.
Speaking afterwards he said:
I was delighted to attend the Milton Ernest Parish Council meeting last week and have the opportunity to hear first hand from local residents about issues affecting them and their community.
Lots of areas were covered including planning issues, the Water Management Alliance that I established last year together with Bedford Borough Mayor Tom Wootton, and a discussion on the wide array of major infrastructure developments that will affect North Bedfordshire over the coming years.
