We are looking forward to welcoming the Torch and our inspirational Torchbearer, Matt, to Dunstable and I hope that residents and members of the surrounding communities will line the streets to enjoy the spectacle and join in what will be a historic occasion.
"Council preparations for welcoming the Olympic Flame are well underway and we will be making some further announcements about arrangements, including road closure information, in the coming weeks.” From Central Bedfordshire Council Updates.
