Help Us Make Our Pavements Safer for Everyone – Sign the E-Petition

Biggleswade Living Streets, a group that cares a lot about making our towns and villages nicer and safer for walking, wheeling and scooting needs your help with something important.

Working with Leighton Linslade Living Streets, they have launched an e-petition urging Central Bedfordshire Council to ensure our pavements are accessible for all. Currently, many people struggle to navigate our streets due to a lack of dropped kerbs at junctions, inconveniently placed street furniture, bins blocking narrow pavements all day, and cars frequently parking on the pavements, amongst other things.

Their goal is to remove or mitigate for these obstacles to make getting around easier, safer and more pleasant for everyone, particularly for those with mobility challenges, parents with pushchairs, and blind or partially sighted people. They know how important it is to be able to walk safely on the pavements. It’s about making sure our streets are welcoming to everyone. So, they’re asking for three things from you:

  1. Please sign their e-petition to show you support keeping pavements clear. https://www.centralbedfordshire.gov.uk/directory_record/206005/request_to_adopt_a_clear_pavement_policy
  2. Share this e-petition with people in your area. The more people know about it, the better.
  3. Use your social media to talk about why clear pavements are important. It’s a great way to get the word out.

Together, we can make our towns and villages better places to live, where everyone can move around freely and safely.

Flitton and Greenfield Parish Council stands with the people of Ukraine

The Parish Council wishes to echo the sentiments of Central Beds Council.

We are sure most of us are watching with despair and horror at the terrible situation in Ukraine.

We cannot truly imagine what it must feel like to be terrified for your life and those of your family. Our thoughts and prayers are with all those affected, including those living here with friends and family.

Central Bedfordshire is a place that welcomes refugees, and stands ready to support and help families fleeing the country.

The Parish Council will also do all it can to help this situation.

The Parish Council has signed up to European Municipalities and Regions Statement to show its support for the people of Ukraine along with thousands of other municipalities in Europe.
