Bedford Borough councillors will decide whether Meridian Trust can take over the St Joseph's Lower School building in Queens Park for a new special school. The plan would create an 80-place school for pupils with social, emotional and mental health needs, backed by a £4.3m funding package. The decision matters because Bedford Borough currently has no such special school for these pupils.
