The Disability Resource Centre is dedicated to improving mobility and accessibility for all, and we need your help to make a difference. Central Bedfordshire Council is developing a new transport plan, aimed at enhancing transportation options and infrastructure throughout the area. This is a critical opportunity for those with mobility issues and other disabilities to ensure that your needs are considered and addressed.
We encourage you to contribute your thoughts, experiences, and suggestions to help shape a more inclusive and accessible transportation future. Your feedback is vital in guiding the council’s decisions on travel routes, accessibility improvements, and transportation services.
Please share your insights by visiting Central Bedfordshire’s new travel plan feedback page. You can share your thoughts via a survey, by using a map to show where improvement is needed, or by submitting a note to the council. Let’s work together to make our community more accessible for everyone.
