This much awaited link road will eventually see the de trunking of the A5 which run through our very old Historic Town, this will then give us our town back.
Making Dunstable a better place to live, work and shop!
Spread this news and tell the World! We've only been waiting 60 years to hear this!
Work will get under way this month on the A5-M1 Link Road improvement scheme, the Highways Agency has announced.
Advance work on the ‘Dunstable Northern Bypass’ will start on 27 May following approval of the scheme by Transport Secretary Patrick McLoughlin.

Let's help if we can!
Just a small contribution in the grand scheme of things.... However, do you think that ALL Charity Shops should donate wellington boots to all the volunteers and to anyone who needs them in this bad weather?
Surely this could work? Please share if you think this could be done. All that is needed is a Wellie Collection point and a kindly delivery company to take them to drop of points near the flooded areas. A small contribution but may help some people wade around and get about.

Dunstable is to have a New Skate Park, located behind Go Bowling!
After hearing the brilliant news of a Brand New Skate Park for Dunstable, we have this detailed message from Central Beds Councillor Nigel Young:
"Nigel Young It’s taken us quite a while to get the money – but at last the young people of Dunstable get a skate park.
The cash comes from what’s called Section 106 contributions from developers (not from CBC Council Tax) In this case the 106 came fro...m the Dukeminster development next to Sainsbury’s. We got £220k 106 – plus £30k (and £5k a year running costs) from the Town Council, so we should get a decent park! Well done Dunstable Town Councillors!
The Town Council (who will run the park) will be setting up a project team in the New Year and we want representatives of Skateboarders involved in the design of the park and selection of a contractor - the Dunstable Skate Park Project Team (DSPPT)
The officer in charge of this fantastic project is Becky Wisbey at the Town Council. I’ve asked Becky to set up an e-mail list and add interested skateboarders to that list so that we can send progress updates and keep you all regularly informed. Please send Becky your private e-mail (not FB) so that she can add you to the list.
Becky’s e-mail is: becky.wisbey@dunstable.gov.uk.
