The business hopeful will battle it out for another week along with 14 other remaining contestants on the hit BBC 1 show.

Wednesday’s episode saw multi-millionaire business tycoon Lord Alan Sugar set the two competing teams the task of designing a household gadget to pitch to retailers Amazon and Lakeland.

Lord Sugar will invest £250,000 in the winner’s business idea and become a partner in their venture.

Reach Lane Quarry in Heath and Reach is a working quarry nearing the end of its productive life. Parts of it have already been restored and landscaped.

Included in this work was the construction of a permissive bridleway between Gig Lane and Overend Green Lane, following the outer edge of the quarry. It is a wide sandy avenue some 900 metres in length, with wonderful views of the surrounding countryside and the quarry workings.

The bridleway was officially opened by Richard Walpole, the landowner, on Sunday, March 25 at 2.30pm.

AMBULANCE patients are satisfied with the emergency services they received in the East of England, latest patient survey results revealed.

For the East of England Ambulance Service NHS Trust (EEAST), 98.6 per cent of respondents treated in December described the services as satisfactory or very satisfactory and 98 per cent were satsified the service met or exceeded their expectations, an upward trend from the October survey.

Out of 357 surveys sent out to patients treaeted in December, 151 responded –nearly 40 per cent.

A LEIGHTON man appeared at Plymouth Magistrates court on Wednesday accused of plotting to smuggle cannabis worth more than £500,000 into Plymouth on a ferry from Spain.

Daniel Holden, aged 29, of Clay Furlong, Sandhills, Leighton, is charged with conspiring to bring 198 kilograms of the drug through Millbay Docks in Plymouth.

He is the third man to appear in court following the seizure of the drug in washing machines brought in by a ferry from Santander in Spain.

Holden is charged with conspiring with Lee Huntington and Richard Higgs to evade the prohibition on the importation of the drug between June and September last year.

Holden was told the case was so serious that it has been sent straight to Plymouth Crown Court. He was released on conditional bail to appear before a judge on April 16. Huntington, aged 34, of Dartford, Kent, and Higgs, aged 29, from Sheffield, have already appeared before magistrates and had their cases also sent to Plymouth Crown Court.

The UK Border Agency told the LBO that one of the other men involved has Leighton connections.

Holden is director/secretary to two companies in Leighton.

MY award for forward thinking on a grand scale and working towards a more cost efficient approach to road maintenance this week goes to Central Bedfordshire Council.

The latest edition of their magazine informs me that the highways department has ‘adopted a holistic approach for co-ordinated planned maintenance works being carried out’. It seems that, wait for it, wait for it, “this means that as well as road repairs the contractor will, at the same time carry out any other programmed works at the same time!

How ground breaking (forgive the pun) is that? Naturally any work will have to be programmed so if the maintenance men notice anything wrong that isn’t programmed they will ignore it?

Councillor Brian Spurr, Executive Member for Sustainable Communities Services says: “The approach will mean road works are carried out in one go where possible”. Note the “where possible” this is probably the get out clause for future use. For goodness sake are we to assume that it has taken until 2012 for someone to offer this up as new idea? Though perhaps Mr Spurr might like to spend some time thinking up a somewhat shorter title for him self

Another really good idea this week has been brought up by the people who are running the Olympic Games. It is to charge the folk who have volunteered to carry the flame across the country £199 if they would like to buy their torch after the event.

Naturally the torch will not work after the games because the flame comes separately, nevertheless it’s a nice idea don’t you think? Every little helps when it comes to filling the coffers of those who will have already made a tidy packet out of sport.

It’s also true of course that the honoured guests from all the competing countries, including such peace loving places as Iran and North Korea, will be put up in five star hotels and have the full and private use of the roads to and from the stadium. Come to think of it they will probably get the best seats as well.

Add into the mix yet another political scandal concerning selling places around a dinner table with the Prime Minister and I suppose you could say it’s been a funny old week ain’t it?

Central Bedfordshire Council has approved the way forward for libraries over the coming 15 years.

The Library Service Strategy sets out how the council will continue to provide a high quality, sustainable and modern service whilst offering efficiency and value for money without closing any libraries. It also includes individual library ‘road maps’ that outline the future opportunities and areas of development for each library.

Following extensive public consultation and market research through the Big Library Debate the Library Service Strategy outlines how the council will:

> Involve local people in making decisions about their library Be

> accessible when, where and how people want Help children, young people

> and adults to improve skills Modernise the service, finding new ways

> to provide better services and save money Deliver a library service

> that is tailored to local people

The challenge for the service is that it needs to deliver more than £550,000 of efficiency savings in running costs by 2014. This will be achieved by investing in technology and reducing back room costs. In the next two years £850,000 of capital investment will support the implementation of self service technology, developing the 24/7 online library, modernising buildings, and piloting library access points in rural communities.

The library service currently has 12 libraries, a library access point and the Library Link service for housebound customers and the online virtual library.

Cllr Brian Spurr, Executive Member Sustainable Communities – Services said: “Libraries in Central Bedfordshire are recognised as an invaluable community service providing access to learning, information and culture for everyone. It is because of this that the council has decided that no library should close and that the service should be more accessible and extend its reach into local communities.

“We do realise however that libraries will need to become more efficient to meet savings targets and modernise to meet the future needs of residents. We believe that this strategy sets out how we can successfully achieve this.”

A new strategy to improve skills, employment prospects and the local economy has been given the go ahead by Executive Councillors at Central Bedfordshire Council.

The All Age Skills Strategy has been developed by the council in partnership with local businesses, community organisations and individuals to enable them to work together to provide the required support and training to meet the needs of the local economy now and in the future.

The aim of the strategy is to support businesses to grow and thrive, get residents of all ages into work and training and to increase the supply of skilled people in Central Bedfordshire.

Cllr Ken Matthews, Executive member for Sustainable Communities – Strategic Planning and Economic Development said: “In an increasingly competitive world skills have a critical role to play. People of all ages need them to get work and to develop their careers. Businesses need a skilled workforce to enable them to grow and encourage competitiveness and innovation whilst supporting the local economy to compete on a local, national and international level. A skilled workforce and a growing economy also attract much needed inward investment.

“This strategy outlines how we will be working in partnership with local employers, education and training providers, and individuals to look at new ways of joint working to enable Central Bedfordshire to achieve its full potential.”

The All Age Skills Strategy an integral part of the council’s Economic Development Plan and contains three main priorities:

* Working together – bringing together partners to ensure that employers, individuals and the local economy are getting the skills they need

* Developing the future and current workforce – increasing the amount of people in the workforce with recognised skills to stimulate productivity and encourage competitiveness, growth and innovation

* Raising individual aspiration and achievements – to raise awareness of the support and opportunities that are available locally for residents of all ages and to promote the importance of gaining appropriate skills.

It is proposed to monitor the success of the strategy on an annual basis.

A building which has been a part of Heath and Reach culture for 200 years has changed its name this week as part of a revamp and relaunch.

First it was known as the Cock Horse pub, then The Cock Hotel and now it is The Heath Inn.

Owned by Dave O’Neal and managed by Tracy Balen, the hotel, pub and restaurant is now a stylish venue for a drink, meal, wedding or a few nights away in one of its 16 rooms.

The daily menu offers something just a little bit different with Caribbean food served, while Sunday is carvery day.

The new name was launched on Thursday evening but management were quick to dismiss whether it had anything to do with the original name and the evolving English language. However, Manager Tracy did say that brides have been put off booking the venue for their weddings because they did not want ‘The Cock’ on their invitations and it lead staff to question how many others had came to the same conclusion.

Also, there had been much confusion caused by three pubs in the area being called The Cock, particularly the Cock Inn at Wing because of its village location.

The Heath Inn has live music events scheduled plus monthly Sunday Jazz gigs.

A GROUP of over 50 volunteers are playing a vital role in Leighton-Linslade by supporting families at tough and challenging times.

Home-Start has just recruited 10 more volunteers to its trusted band who visit families with young children in their own homes.

Since April last year Home-Start has helped and supported 60 families and numbers are continuely rising.

Those in need of some help may be parents who are disabled or have a child with a disability such as autism or ADHD. Families may also be going through a bad patch due to bereavement or depression.

Volunteers, who must be parents or grand-parents themselves and have a caring nature, are carefully matched with the families they visit and may attend once a week for two or three hours to offer practical help such as playing with the children, taking them to the park, or just providing emotional support and friendship.

They are all CRB checked and references collected.

Linda Johnson, Home-Start manager, said: “Some of our volunteers are trained to help families ensure they are accessing all the benefits that they are entitled to and to apply to grants and trusts on their behalf through a project working with Child Poverty Action Group called Maximising Income. The aim is to help to alleviate child poverty.

“Home-Start also runs Return to Work workshops to help parents with young children who are looking at returning to work. We also run the Freedom Programme in the town for women who have been affected by domestic abuse.”

Ms Johnson said: “People often volunteer in order to build up their skills and confidence to gain employment. We place a great emphasis on training our volunteers, both initially with the ten week Preparation Course (once a week for ten weeks) and with ongoing training and their work is supervised by a co-ordinator. Although we are a voluntary organisation we aim to offer a professional service.

“It is a great way of making friends, learning new skills and building up confidence, making use of the skills and life experiences that you have and really making a difference to the community in which you live.

“Volunteers’ support can help a family that is struggling and can stop a difficulty escalating into a crisis and possible family breakdown.

“I think that our organisation plays a vital role in the town particularly as the town grows and families move away from extended family support. As services are being cut I am sure that there will be even more of a call on Home-Start as we provide excellent value for money and are very cost effective.

“There is also not the community that there once was. I think that early intervention is extremely important rather than waiting until problems really escalate. Research has proven that visiting and supporting families in their own homes for a period of time can make a huge amount of difference to both parents and children in today’s stressful society. Our volunteers prove that there is a community in Leighton-Linslade and I know that many of them will say that they get back just as much as they give in terms of enjoyment and satisfaction in contributing to the community.”

Home-Start is now based in Dunstable for more information ring 01582 660061 or email office@home-startcentralbeds.org.uk. Website is www.home-startcentralbeds.org.uk.

More courses for volunteers are due to start soon.

CHAOTIC scenes of traffic congestion and parking mayhem has turned a country lane in Heath and Reach into a battle zone between residents and drivers.

Motorists visiting Stockgrove are being encouraged to use the new Rushmere entrance into the countryside park at a cost of £2 a time where once car parking, off Brickhill Road, used to be free.

But car owners are refusing to pay the charge and are now parking the length of the former access road causing horrendous traffic issues.

Now angry residents, who fear that emergency vehicles will not be able to use the road because of restricted access, have been told that it could take a year for parking restrictions to be brought in by Bucks County Council – if they decide to go ahead with them. A letter from the authority to a home-owner suggests that they would be unenforcible.

Sheridan Williams, who complained to the LBO about the situation, has called for a site visit to allow council officials from both Beds and Bucks (the area straddles the county boundary) to see the congestion.

THE University’s of Bedfordshire’s radio station, Radio LaB, celebrated its second birthday last week.

The station, formerly known as Luton FM, was granted a community radio licence in 2010, and since then has been going from strength to strength.

It broadcasts across Luton and Bedfordshire, and plays everything from new bands to poetry written and read by members of the public.

It is run by students, five of whom act as station managers, under the supervision of principal lecturer in radio, Dr Janey Gordon.

“We’re very pleased with how the station has come on,” said Dr Gordon.

“We had a whole series of temporary licences for 13 years, so now we have a full time community licence and we’ve moved into a purpose built studio.

“For the students it’s great because it’s a real, on-air station. But we use it in all sorts of different ways, getting people from the community involved.

“And we play music that isn’t really heard elsewhere, trying to encourage new musicians.”

More than 100 people attended a party to mark Radio LaB’s second birthday at the university’s student union on Friday night, with DJ sets and live music from Shades of Sound.

One of the station’s managers, 21-year-old Niall Dunkley, said Radio LaB was different from any other station.

“We have got the freedom to offer content that you won’t find on other stations,” he said.

“Our programming is aimed at students in the afternoon and evenings, but obviously they’re not really around in the mornings, so we have our breakfast show, which plays music from the 60s, 70s and 80s.

“It’s non-stop music and we’ve had lots of really good feedback from the public on that, people love the music.”

In the evening the station plays specialist music shows from the student DJs.

THE wheels on the bus went round and round for one lower school when two of the town’s bus company’s supplied transport for out-of-the-classroom green ventures.

Just to add to their experience London Midland railway company also chipped in with free travel for the four and five year old pupils at Leedon Lower School in Highfield Road, Leighton.

The children enjoyed two days of learning to save the planet and having fun at the same time. Thanks to the bus and train companies and Friends of the Earth representatives Daphne Walker, Neil Tidey and Victoria Harvey, southern resident forum Helen Fletcher, and community priest Paul Niemic, the children planted wild flowers for the bee population at the new Billington Park community orchard. They planted primroses, knapweed, wild campion and oxeyes daisies to give the bees food throughout the year so they are ready to help pollinate the newly planted apple trees. The children learned how bee numbers have declined in the last 20 years and how they play a vital role in the production of our fresh food.

They also learned about green heating generated from locally grown willow trees and how to save on pollution by leaving the car at home and taking public transport instead.

The children had also drawn pictures of bees which Mayor Gordon Perham, a represenative from South Beds Friends of the Earth and London Midland chose eight top pictures to be displayed at Leighton Buzzard station. Their reward was a train trip to Berkhamsted castle.

For some it was their first ever trip on an Arriva and Grant Palmer bus, even a train, as they learned of CO2 effects on the environment and how taking these forms of transport can help to reduce it by taking cars off the road.

Friends of the Earth representative Victoria Harvey said: “Leedon Lower School is fantastic in all the work they do on saving the planet, growing food, keeping goats and chickens, etc. This is a fantastic project as they are taking this experience outside the school into everyday life and into their home community. They are showing us all that being green can be great fun as they plant wildflowers and take day trips to public transport. We are so grateful to Grant Palmer, Arriva, London Midland, Off the Rails. LB and the Town Council without whose generosity it would have been impossible to organise this.”

Linsey Frostick of Arriva said: “We were delighted to be able to help transport the children to the station and introduce them to bus travel. The 70 service is a great link and we hope the children enjoyed their bus journey, we hope to see them on board with their mums and dads soon!”

Grant Palmer was equally supportive. A rep said: “We always wish to help the community of Leighton Buzzard where we can.”

In all, the lesson for the day was about sustainable transport, sustainable energy for homes, looking after biodiversity especially bees, and local food - the whole green agenda in one morning.

The community orchard’s key to success is for locals to water the newly planted trees. The children at Leedon hope they have sown the seeds to help maintain the watering.

>>Winners of the bees drawing competition were: Neve Babhan, Bailey Carroll, Jacob Hamilton-Crickmay, Alicja Gajewska, Elizabeth Joy, Alfie Lockhart, Harry Bartram, and Ella Lord.

I have yet again turned to watching DVDs of yesteryear programmes rather than watch the dross currently on TV.

At the moment I am seven hours into that great 1991 series GBH and enjoying it as much as I did when it first came out. Much of the storyline could apply right now as far as politics is concerned. Short term gain and the ends justifying the means are still as rife now as it was then.

Still on politics it is also true that now and again voters in our country do some silly things. I can’t see George Galloway lasting long after a General Election but right now I don’t look forward to hearing and seeing him expound his crazy views. I guess that’s the price we pay for so called democracy.

As for our current Government they too have been inclined to make several schoolboy blunders recently. Quite how a Government minister can offer such silly advice as Mr Maude did is beyond me. Many of you will recall that the word “Jerry” was considered an insult to German people so the Minister will not be on the German Chancellor’s Christmas list. We mustn’t forget that he also was encouraging us to break the law!

As for that comedy duo Cameron and Clegg I really would relish the chance to stuff a pastie somewhere uncomfortable for both of them! What a right pair of fools they have become. With all the truly serious problems in our society to attend to they muck around with futile, childish gestures.

I had some odd advice this week and it came from the lady in my local Post Office. I asked to send an envelope containing a book to my brother. She said that she would have to measure to see if the package would go through the letterbox; I told her that it would because I tried it in my letterbox and it did.

“That isn’t the point,” I was admonished. “It’s what the Post Office says that matters and this won’t go through.” I left her brandishing a cardboard model of a letter box at me and went to purchase my newspaper!

It seems that along with putting up the price of postage stamps, the Post Office can decide the size my letter box should be even if it isn’t that size, if you see what I mean.

PS Many thanks to the people who telephoned, texted and emailed when I appeared on Roberto Perrone’s Drivetime Show at Three Counties Radio. I look forward to another appearance with Bobbie soon.

THE Wildlife Trust for Bedfordshire says wildlife in the county will receive extra protection thanks to the government’s new National Planning Policy Framework.

The trust says the framework stipulates sustainable development must result “net gains for nature” rather than net loss.

Local planning strategies must also now consider climate change.

IT WAS hair today, gone tomorrow for a Leighton lorry driver this week as he shaved off his long locks for charity.

Gavin Hill, 35, is feeling a bit chilly round the ears after his once-shaggy mane was reduced to stumble in front of colleagues at Skyline Roofing Centre in Cherrycourt Way, Leighton.

The lorry driver had spent two years growing his hair then decided to have it shaved off to raise funds to send five-year-old girl Niamh Curry from Wellingborough to the USA for life-saving cancer treatment and fund one of her parents to travel with her.

Niamh is the neighbour of one of Gavin’s colleagues.

Gavin raised £1200 and declared that “short hair has it’s bonuses!” He will hand over the cheque to Niamh’s family after the Easter holidays.

Niamh has neuroblastoma, an aggressive type of cancer which mainly affects babies and young children. She has already had many different cancer treatments in the UK, but after initial treatment worked the cancer has now returned.

Niamh’s best chance is now flying to the USA for specialist therapy, which is not available in the UK. The potentially life-saving treatment is likely to cost £500,000 and can take nine months to administer. During that time, a parent is expected to stay with her.

ORGANISERS of the Olympics are on the lookout for Central Bedfordshire residents, with a passion for the Games, partying and bringing local people together.

The London 2012 ‘Local Leader’ campaign is designed to give people across the UK a role in the Games and to help those people who don’t know quite how to be part of London 2012, by suggesting a number of different ways to celebrate.

Being a Local Leader is simple, and there are lots of tools and resources available to help. There are no limits to the sort of celebration Local Leaders might want to plan, but here are a few ideas to consider:

‘Garden for the Games’ provides Local Leaders with hints and tips from gardening experts, including Blue Peter Gardener Chris Collins and Olympic Park Gardener Des Smith, on how to plant seeds now that will turn window boxes down your street red, white and blue, or to ‘grow gold’ by planting marigolds to flourish the route of the Olympic Torch route.

The Olympic Torch flame will be in Dunstable on the morning of Monday, July 9, Local Leaders are provided with ideas and tools to help bring the community together to welcome the flame and celebrate their local heroes by lining the streets and showing what makes their community special.

On July 27 the Opening Ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic Games will be watched by over a billion people around the world, and Local Leaders will be given invite cards, recipe tips, party sheets and more to help them turn their screening of the event into an Olympic themed venue, whether it is in a village hall, pub or living room.

August 4 is ‘Super Saturday’ - the day when the most medals are awarded during the Olympic Games. Local Leaders will access recipe ideas to help host barbeques and a day of activity in their homes, gardens and community centres.

For the Paralympic Torch Relay, Local Leaders can help celebrate the national flame lightings in England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales by lighting up every corner of the UK with a lantern. Local Leaders will be able to access hints and tips on how to take part in a lantern procession and decorate lanterns with good luck messages for their local Paralympic athlete.

Finally, for the last day of the Paralympic Games on September 9 Local Leaders will be provided with ideas to bring together friends, family and neighbours for a Sunday get-together to see out an unforgettable summer in style.

Leader of Central Bedfordshire Council, Cllr James Jamieson, said: “What better way of celebrating this once in a lifetime summer, than by becoming a Local Leader and celebrating the Olympic Games with your family, friends and neighbours.

“I am really looking forward to hearing about what our residents are planning. I am certain there will be some fantastic events taking place across Central Bedfordshire.”

Seb Coe, LOCOG Chair, said: “Local Leaders are brilliant organisers in every community around the country and play an active role in celebrating national events at a local level. Through this programme Local Leaders will help provide opportunities for everyone around the UK to join in with the London 2012 Games.”

By signing up at www.london2012.com/localleaders . Local Leaders will get access to London 2012 branding, posters and toolkits. Whether the Local Leader invites three friends or their whole community, London 2012 will provide them with the tools to make their celebration one to remember and create opportunities for people across the UK to join in. They will also be able to put their celebration events on the London 2012 Join In listings website, giving local community celebrations exposure on what will be one of the most visited websites in the world this year.

MORE than 200 children were victims of sex crimes in Bedfordshire last year, new figures from the NSPCC show.

The 214 children were victims of sex crimes including rape, incest and abuse through prostitution and pornography.

Of these, 47 had not reached secondary school age and 19 were aged five and under, but the majority of the offences, 132, were reported against 11- to 17-year-olds.

Dan Russell from the NSPCC said: “Many of these distressing offences are committed on extremely young and helpless children, who may not understand what is happening to them and are unable to ask for help. The NSPCC is doing what it can by using information like this from the police to tailor our treatment services. But we can’t tackle these problems by ourselves.”

If adults have concerns about a child they should immediately contact social services, police or call the NSPCC Helpline on 0808 800 5000 where trained counsellors are on call 24 hours a day.

A £5,000 advertising prize is up for grabs in this year’s Bedfordshire Federation of Small Businesses awards.

The prize has been donated by Premier Newspapers, publishers of the Luton News, Dunstable Gazette and websites covering the county.

Awards organiser Damian Cummins, chairman of Luton and South Beds Branch of the small business lobby group, the FSB, urged businesses to reject doom and gloom.

The awards are open to Bedfordshire-based companies, or firms that can prove the majority of their business is conducted in the county. They must be sole traders or have less than 200 employees at the time of entering.

Mr Cummins said: “To hell with doom and gloom. Celebrate your success as a business, show the world, well Bedfordshire anyway, why you deserve a business accolade, enter now, next month will be too late.”

The deadline for entering is April 27. Details by visiting www.fsb.org.uk/beds-awards or email damian@eventsandpr.co.uk

The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh are to meet residents from Buckinghamshire at a three-county summer garden party to mark her Diamond Jubilee.

The event will take place near Henley-on-Thames on 25 June, and is being jointly organised by the Lord Lieutenants of Buckinghamshire, Berkshire and Oxfordshire.

A significant proportion of the 4,000 guests at the garden party will be selected by a public ballot which will take place in May. Residents who are successful in the ballot will join representatives of voluntary organisations and charities, together with civic, community and business leaders.

The event is part of a series of regional visits throughout the UK by The Queen and The Duke which give Her Majesty the opportunity to express her thanks to people throughout the country for their continued support and loyalty.

Part of the occasion will be a river pageant themed around the Thames which forms a common bond between the three counties.

Closely associated with the event will be a major Jubilee Fund raising appeal for the four Community Foundation charities in Buckinghamshire, Berkshire, Oxfordshire, and Milton Keynes.

Sir Henry Aubrey-Fletcher, Lord-Lieutenant of Buckinghamshire, said: “We are deeply honoured that The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh will attend a garden party that will be a celebration of life in the three counties and the part that The Queen has played over the last 60 years. We are planning a really wonderful event to mark this remarkable anniversary.

“In addition, the fund-raising appeal for the Community Foundation charities will create a lasting legacy of The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee, benefiting small community organisations across the three counties long into the future.”

Leighton Buzzard North, Leighton Buzzard South and Linslade Central Beds Councillors, together with Leighton-Linslade Town Councillors, will be holding a Help and Advice Surgery at Leighton Buzzard Library (activities room) on Saturday, April 14 from 10am-12noon.
