Kenyan Stars and Local Sporting Role Models Make a Day to Remember for Local Schoolchildren
Earlier this week I attended a fantastic event which saw around 600 children from schools across Bedford Borough take part in a once in a lifetime opportunity to run alongside world class Kenyan athletes and a number of inspirational local sportspeople. The children were from schools who had taken part in the Bedford Borough Schools Marathon Club, which comprised a series of runs over a ten week period organised by the Council's Sports Development Team. The one-mile run around Bedford Park on Monday represented the culmination of the 'schools' marathon.' The Kenyan athletes, Philip Langat and Shadrack Kosgei, had taken part in the London Marathon on the previous day, yet despite that and despite having a plane to catch in the evening, they were on great form all day, taking part in run after run with the youngsters and making sure that it would be an occasion for them all to remember for years to come.

Coalition Government helps kick-start the delayed Waterside project
The Coalition Government has stepped in to help kick-start the massive £300 million plus Waterside project along the A61 corridor in Chesterfield. The project, which will reclaim the long-derelict land running from the old Trebor site almost up to the new Tesco, has been stalled for the past eighteen months or so since the new canal basin was built. A £2.4 million grant for public realm work has been obtained from the government's "Growing Places" fund, via Sheffield City Region, and is to deliver all canal related infrastructure which forms the necessary structure of the Waterside site including provision for flood mitigation. This will include the construction of the new canal arm, locks, weir and road bridge access. Together with some "Get Britain Building" funding, these works will also enable the first phase of residential development, 45 homes, to take place on site which is expected to get the commercial development going around the canal basin..
