In a separate notice, Central Bedfordshire Council has confirmed an order to divert parts of two public footpaths in Leighton-Linslade.
Under the changes, approximately 60 metres of Footpath 16, running from its junction with Footpath 44 towards Billington Road, will be stopped up and replaced with a new route of around 58 metres. A section of Footpath 44, measuring around eight metres, will also be stopped up and replaced.
Both replacement sections will have a width of two metres.
The council is also proposing to introduce a dedicated disabled parking bay on Cooper Drive, Leighton Buzzard. The proposed space would be located on the eastern side of the road, in the north-eastern corner outside number 43 Cooper Drive.
