Comcast invests more than £250m in planned Universal park in Bedford

Comcast has put more than £250m into a new Universal theme park planned for Bedford.

The project has received fast-tracked planning permission from the Government.

The Government has committed £1.3bn of taxpayers’ money to it.

Of that amount, £474m was initially set aside to improve local transport links.

These transport upgrades are intended to support connections in the area around the park.

The investment combines private funding from Comcast with public funding from the Government.

The available information does not say when the park will open or what happens next.
