Following Thursday, 13 May Council meeting, Councillor Brian Saunders, was re-elected as Chairman of Central Bedfordshire Council. Councillor Gordon Perham was also re-elected as Vice Chairman.

Following his re-election, Councillor Saunders, who represents Stotfold and Langford said:

During these unprecedented times, I have been proud to be an ambassador for the council, but the health emergency has meant that I have been unable to get out and meet with residents and communities as much as I would have liked. I look forward to restrictions lifting and having the opportunity to meet with residents. I also look forward to representing the council at civic and ceremonial events.

Councillor Saunders will continue to raise funds and awareness for his chosen charity, The Need Project, which is based in Stotfold and covers much of Central Bedfordshire.

Councillor Gordon Perham, who represents Linslade, said:

I am honoured to serve for a second term in the role of Vice Chair and to support the Chairman in representing the council and with his chosen charities.
