Mayor Dave Hodgson Giving a Presentation to Businesses on the Bedford River Festival 2012

Building an Early Head of Steam for River Festival 2012!

Yesterday I hosted a breakfast meeting with thirty seven businesses about River Festival 2012, talking about the potential for the festival to be the biggest and best ever and introducing the firms to the variety of ways in which they can get involved and support the event.

Establishing the budget has also enabled us to secure key infrastructure which will be in high demand for the olympics.
