ACORN 21 years old
This year ACORN (Arlesey Conservation for Nature) celebrate their 21st
birthday. The group have been instrumental in opening-up and maintaining
green spaces in and around Arlesey. Working with volunteers they have
made huge contribution to the local area with projects including Glebe
Meadows, Arlesey Old Moat and last year The Hicca Way.
New chairman Saul Ackroyd would like to extend a warm welcome to
anybody who would like to join the group.
He says “I would like to encourage new (and younger!) membership and
have written to all existing members in search of new people to come and
volunteer”.

Please note ACORN will be heavily involved in the Community Duck Race. A
provisional date of Sunday June 29th has been agreed.
Buses
Lots of people have commented that the new bus services work well and it
has been a boost to transport links. However there seems to be no buses
available from the south of the village to the train station and back in the
early morning and certain evening times to work around early train times.
This has resulted in some people using cars to get to the station where a
bus would save on car parking fees, congestion or extra vehicles parking on
the roads in the north of the village.
One resident has contacted Central Beds Council who say they will be
reviewing timetables after feedback from bus users. Although there was
very little in the consultation for the masterplan to suggest extra services
would be proposed for local bus transport.
Do you have concerns or feedback on the bus services please let us
know or contact Central Beds Council on: 0300 300 8308
or email: [email protected]
