About

Putnoe is a residential district in the north of Bedford, within the MK41 postcode area and a short distance from the town centre. The neighbourhood was laid out mainly on former farmland in the mid-20th century and consists of a mix of privately owned and social housing, local shopping parades, schools and community facilities. Regular bus routes link Putnoe with Bedford town centre and other suburbs, so daily errands and commuting are straightforward. Street patterns and local services reflect post-war estate planning rather than a historic core.

Green space and everyday community amenities shape life in Putnoe. Putnoe Wood Local Nature Reserve sits inside the neighbourhood and provides marked footpaths and mature trees that remain from earlier land use; the wood is used year-round by walkers and local schools. Scattered pocket parks, allotments and small retail clusters support local activity. Community buildings and the local library host groups and events, and most services are within walking distance for many residents.
