The proposed merger between Cranfield University and King's College London is fantastic news, not just for Bedfordshire, but for the whole country.
In an ever-changing world the need for delivering world leading research in engineering, technology, energy, security and defence has never been greater and that is what the proposed new university would deliver.
It would mean the combined group would be one of the best in the UK and the world and having such a significant university based right here in Mid Bedfordshire is a huge opportunity for future generations - helping to drive investment, innovation and highly skilled jobs across Bedfordshire and the UK.
