Looks like it will be an unhappy new year for motorists as Cadent[2] engineers begin essential gas mains reinforcement and replacement work.
The work – in Kempston Road, Bedford – will start on Tuesday, January 2 until Monday, February 12 and means one thing and one thing only: road closures.
Here are Bedford’s festive bin collection dates and Christmas tree recycling dro…

Kempston Road – from the direction of Cauldwell Street – with Britannia Road to the left
The six-week project involves essential upgrades to around 90 metres of underground pipework on the gas network.
As a result of the work – which has been agreed with Bedford Borough Council[4] – there will lane closures in Kempston Road (opposite Bedford Hospital), Britannia Road, and Cauldwell Street (until the traffic lights at the junction of Prebend Street).
The work also means the bus stop in Kempston Road (opposite Bedford Hospital) will be suspended.
Pete Day, Cadent[5] lead delivery engineer, said: “We have a responsibility to make sure every property that uses gas has access to it 24/7, 365 days a year and these essential works will mean that we continue to deliver on that promise.
“We know it’s far from ideal to have any sort of lane closure in place, but we have worked hard with Bedford Borough Council to create a plan that keeps traffic flowing and maintains access for local businesses, the hospital, and residents.
“We would like to thank customers for their patience at this time and we apologise for any inconvenience experienced as we complete this important work.”
The gas supply will stay on throughout the works.

A rapist has been jailed for seven and a half years after he was seen to be prowling for vulnerable women before carrying out his attack.
CCTV below captured 31-year-old Mundle lurking in the area, where he appeared to be on the lookout for women he considered to be vulnerable.

He followed an 18-year-old woman down an alleyway as she was on her way home from a nearby bar at around 4am.
After the attack, the victim approached the police night-time economy van and reported what had happened. Mundle was arrested on suspicion of rape near the scene shortly afterwards.
In a statement provided by the victim, she spoke about the impact the rape has had on her life.
Philip Mundle
She said: “I wake up shaking, with a racing heart and cannot breathe. I feel clammy and sweaty. After the incident, I imagined him everywhere.
“I want to forget what happened to me, but his actions mean that I can’t. It has changed my life forever.”
Today (Friday), Mundle, of no fixed abode, was sentenced at Luton Crown Court to seven years and six months. Back in October, he was found guilty of one count of rape.
He was also handed a sentence of one month for assaulting an emergency service worker.
Detective Constable Philippa McCarthy from Bedfordshire Police’s Rape and Serious Sexual Offences (RASSO) team said: “Mundle deliberately preyed on someone he considered to be a vulnerable woman. His attack was brazen and opportunistic.
“The victim in this case has showed enormous courage to come forward and speak to officers immediately and throughout the case, to help ensure Mundle was brought to justice for his crimes.
“Women deserve to feel safe in public spaces and should not have to worry. Predators like Mundle who act in this kind of appalling way will be relentlessly pursued by our officers and put where they deserve to be – behind bars.”
