Welcoming the news that Universal Destinations would open its first ever theme park and resort in Europe in Bedford

Welcoming the news that Universal Destinations would open its first ever theme park and resort in Europe in Bedford, Police and Crime Commissioner for Bedfordshire, John Tizard said:

"This is a historic day for the county, and a great example of leadership of place. I would like to share my huge congratulations to Bedford Borough Council and our local MPs who have worked so hard to secure this investment. 

"The new theme park will be a huge economic boost to the county. I will be working hard to ensure the police service is actively involved in developing and planning for the new theme park, and making sure the  police service is actively engaged with Bedford Borough Council. This will include making the case for Section 106 funding for investing in police infrastructure.
