Bedford market has had an upgrade, thanks to £60,000 in funding from the Town Centre Priority Fund.

Councillor Henry Vann, portfolio holder for town centres and planning, said: “It is great to see this investment come to fruition, with the market stalls receiving new metalwork and new canvas covers which look fantastic.

Bedford mayor, Dave Hodgson, added: “With the work now complete, the stalls in our market square are visually so much better and, most importantly, drier for our traders.
