Public Drop-in Events Announced for New Strategic M1 J11A to A6 Route

-
Image
Central Bedfordshire Council is to hold a series of public drop-in events to share early plans for a proposed M1-A6 Link Road. The new strategic link road would run from the A6 Barton Road to junction 11a of the M1 motorway, joining up to the A5-M1 Link Road, to provide a strategically important east-west link.

The proposed new road would be 2.75 miles (4.4km) long and could create part of a northern bypass for Luton. The preferred layout would have a 50mph speed limit and be a mixture of single and dual carriageway, with junctions to a new Rail Freight Interchange at Sundon and proposed new housing development.

The existing A6 road has approximately 26,000 vehicles on it each day. A new link road would help to relieve current congestion and improve safety in Luton, as well as ease traffic on the local village roads used as rat-runs, such as Lower Sundon, Upper Sundon and Streatley. The plans also suggest a number of upgraded footpaths, cycleways and bridleways in the area.

Central Bedfordshire Council has gained an injunction banning eleven named individuals from setting up unauthorised encampments anywhere in Central Bedfordshire over the next two years.

2017 was a really difficult summer in Central Bedfordshire, where these individuals and their families moved from site to site across the authority area, causing disruption such as anti-social behaviour and large clean-ups which impacted on local communities.

The injunction bans 11 named defendants entering CBC authority area to camp. And 15 identified areas are for any persons deciding to camp there. This is indefinite for those areas, whereas the named persons part lasts two years.

Over the last year, Central Bedfordshire Council has undertaken a huge amount of work to secure council-owned land, including installing height barriers, bunding, ditches and strengthening gates.

The council has also been advising private landowners on suitable measures to take on their land. Additionally, they have been …
