Welcome

Bedford College is investing £80 Million in the future of Bedford - when other developments are being put on the back burner.

A prestigious new College development will boost business in the town centre and provide fantastic training facilities for companies countywide.

Situated on Bedford College’s Cauldwell Street site, the new development will be a national showcase of architectural expertise in an area much in need of regeneration - the Southern riverside.

New plans unveiled this weekend (October 21st) have been given a warm welcome by businesses in the neighbourhood. Already the College, which has 14,000 students, adds nearly £60 Million in to the local economy each year. This major capital investment is welcome news at time when other town centre developments have been held up by the credit crunch.

Plans will be submitted in December 2008 and, if approved, work will begin in 2010.

Bedford College Chief Executive and Chair of BedordBID Ian Pryce said:

“This will be a big boost for Bedford at a time when investment is much needed."
