New surveillance camera at Queen’s Park in Bedford

A permanent surveillance camera has been installed at Queen's Park in Bedford.

Queen’s Park councillors Nesreen Akhtar & Mohammed Masud have used part of their ward fund to fund it.

The camera covers an area by St Josephs & St Gregory’s Primary School and Westfield School.

Councillor Nesreen Akhtar said: “Councillor Masud and I are keen to use our ward fund for all kinds of projects in Queen’s Park, and were happy to help with this request.”

Councillor Mohammed Masud added: “If anyone has any other suggestions for improvements to the area, or local facilities or groups that could use part of our ward fund, then please do get in touch. Even though there is a lockdown, we’re still here to help everyone in our community.”
