I know I’m brining in a fair bit of political discussion but this is an inherently political project and we’re all at the mercy of their political decisions when it comes to this project.Could we have a political Britain forum so we can keep this focused on actual news about the (hopefully) coming theme park.
Yeah, a bit of extra top rate income tax, tax on private school fees and inheritance tax increase will make it absolutely impossible to operate a theme park. We might as well just close down the country. Universal can choose a low tax country like Disney did for their European theme park.Reeves is paving the way for tax rises. If that's true USGB could be in trouble.
Stewartby/ Kempston Hardwick Council Newsletter as shared on ‘We Want Universal Studios in Bedfordshire’ Facebook GroupWhose newsletter is that from? Bedford Council, one of the parishes, the mayor? Like other comments we’ve seen from people close to the process, the election has delayed things but longer term everyone expects this to go ahead. Thank goodness they are not reading some of the hand-wringing comments in this thread…
Stewartby/ Kempston Hardwick Council Newsletter as shared on ‘We Want Universal Studios in Bedfordshire’ Facebook Group
I'll be thereView attachment 23065This definitely reads as a positive development, Who’ll be attending that community meeting If/ When it happens?
The Facebook group, "we want Universal Studios in Bedford" reported about five days ago that a dozen vehicles and numerous people were around the Broadmead Farm area, from a company called "Actavo" Homepage
Not sure if this means anything, the company appears to be involved in a variety of things from events to infrastructure. Has anyone else seen anything?
I’d assume that potentially they’d be involved in setting up on-site temporary offices at a push, I could be entirely wrong thoughIf that’s definitely the website for the company that was seen on site, then they have a projects page like you say. Quite a number were for “modular buildings” and “network and in-home”.

According to Universal's information pack published back in April, the land identified as the "Western Gateway" near Broadmead Road included an "indicative location" of a contractors compound for the first phase of construction.I’d assume that potentially they’d be involved in setting up on-site temporary offices at a push, I could be entirely wrong though
Anyone know where tender notices of that kind are published?Not sure if someone’s mentioned this but tenders are being put out apparently for early site works.
Seen someone mention it on another forum, post 356.
