Lifestyle
Bedford, being a major regional town, is a substantial
retail centre with nearly 3 m sq ft of retail
floorspace
The town centre is also
undergoing a massive renaissance with large scale ‘quarter’
redevelopments. The Riverside Bedford waterfront leisure led scheme
has now completed as well as the redevelopment of the Bus Station
area and the award winning Castle Quay development, in the Cultural
Quarter. Other schemes in development such as the Harpur
Shopping Centre, Town Centre Transport Strategy and One Public
Estate Programme will continue to deliver major new
retail space, leisure facilities, housing and improved
transport interchanges.
