Universal UK negotiations going well, says MP

It was late 2023 when Universal first set out its plans for a new theme park after purchasing 480-acres worth of land in the county, followed by a consultation of local residents.






It was late 2023 when Universal first set out its plans for a new theme park after purchasing 480-acres worth of land in the county, followed by a consultation of local residents.

A survey conducted by the company showed 92% of the 6,000 who took part were in favour of the theme park, but a decision is still yet to be made on whether it will be given the go-ahead.

Local MP Blake Stephenson has been pushing hard in Parliament calling on the Government to do everything possible to secure the investment, including secure a Westminster Hall debate on tourism in Bedfordshire late last year.
