Site in Bedford

This is from another forum. No no more than this:

Hi, an article in the local newspaper stated that a motorhome aire is to be set up in one of the town centre car parks on a trial basis this spring. The town centre activity has declined over the years and the council has looked at creating a motorhome stopover as a way of increasing footfall. The town centre is not the smartest, tidiest of places but the river embankment with its floral gardens and park rivals any other town centre beauty spot. No details yet as to wether it will be free overnight or not or a precise start date. The flowers will be out in the spring and summer so if you are passing by come and see for yourself

Do you have a source for this information?

Presumably the "National Association of Aires" referred to in the article is CApRA (Campaign for Real Aires UK)

Actually, Bedford has had a bit of a makeover from a high street point of view, river area is indeed lovely and there's lots of independant shops. Bedford is not the shit hole it once was but the "aire" will essentially be spaces (charged for) near to the town centre and in a car park thats essentially in the middle of a "chav boy race circuit" or at least used to be.
I guess time will tell, but it's not where I'd have put it in Bedford.
Google "St Peters Street Car Park, Bedford" and you'll see it.
