The proposed new Universal Studios theme park in Mid Bedfordshire has been given the green light after receiving planning permission.

Blake Stephenson, the local Member of Parliament for the proposed theme park, commented:

"I am absolutely delighted that Universal Studios has now received planning permission to build a brand new theme park right here in Mid Bedfordshire. This is a landmark moment for our county and a vote of confidence in our region’s potential.

“The arrival of a world-class destination like Universal Studios will bring thousands of jobs, exciting new opportunities for young people, and a major boost for local businesses and tourism. It will also act as a powerful catalyst for wider economic growth, attracting further investment and strengthening our local and regional economy for years to come

“I will continue to work closely with residents, the council, and Universal Studios as the project moves forward, to ensure the infrastructure our communities need is delivered so that we can reap the rewards of this exciting development.”
