Bedford Borough Council is consulting local people on two proposals that will alter local council arrangements in Kempston and Shortstown.
The public consultation forms part of two separate Community Governance Reviews (CGR) designed to update civic representation across both communities.
Proposed changes
The first proposal focuses on realigning the boundary between Kempston Town Council and Kempston Parish Council.
This adjustment aims to align the parish border directly with the existing Bedford Borough Council ward boundary line.
The second proposal addresses governance in Shortstown by increasing the total number of parish councillors serving on Shortstown Parish Council.
Have your say
Local people directly affected by either proposal will receive consultation documents by email or as a physical copy in the post.
Neighbours and local stakeholders can also view detailed information and complete the online questionnaire on the Bedford Borough Council website.
Both consultation surveys will remain open until midday on Friday, 11 September.
