Village Meeting Tuesday 5 th May 2015 As a resident of Bourne End, you are invited to a meeting on Tuesday 5 th May at 7.30 p.m. in the Village Hall to discuss the proposed new development of Bourne End Mills Industrial Estate.  The proposals would involve a mix of housing and industrial units.  An example of the kind of layout is shown below. Please note that neither the houses nor the industrial units will have vehicular access into Bourne End Lane as all vehicles will have to enter and exit via the A41 bypass. We would like your opinion on the proposals, so please make every effort to attend. Gordon Rolfe Chairman Bourne End Village Association
