Park Avenue closure to be extended during summer concerts at Bedford Park
With anticipation growing for next month's Summer Sessions at Bedford Park, a road traffic order has gone into the council to ease kicking out time.
Last year, Park Avenue was closed to vehicles during each evening of the concerts from 9pm.
But this time, the plan is for the whole road to be closed from 6pm until midnight each night – that’s July 2-5.
The alternative route for vehicles is via Kimbolton Road, Goldington Road, St Peter’s Street, Dame Alice Street, Harpur Street, The Broadway, Foster Hill Road, Roff Avenue, Park Avenue.
Also – again between 6pm until midnight on the gig nights – no vehicle be allowed to turn right into Park Avenue from De Parys Avenue.
This year’s Bedford Summer Sessions – presented by TK Maxx – feature:
Thursday, July 2 – Deacon Blue with guests Lightning Seeds
Friday, July 3 – UB40 ft Ali Campbell with guests Bitty McLean & Reggae Roast ft MC Horseman
Saturday, July 4 – Tom Grennan with guests Brooke Combe & Fiona-Lee
Sunday, July 5 – Paul Weller with guests Miles Kane & Arkayla
