        Overview

        Parts of Bedfordshire, like many English counties, enjoyed a post-war population boom, however, as the narrators warn, such growth cannot continue without sustainable solutions to its impact. Produced by the Beds County Council Planning Department, this film outlines the effect of population growth on housing, jobs, the environment, and transport, should it continue at the same rate as in the past, featuring individual case studies from all over the county.
