The majority of Central Bedfordshire families applying for a school place this year have received good news, with 9 in 10 children offered a place at their first preference primary school.
At a meeting on 7 October, Central Bedfordshire Council’s Executive agreed plans to consult on its Local Council Tax Support Scheme (LCTS) for working-age claimants.
A Central Bedfordshire resident has been sentenced to an £80 fine plus ordered to pay £250 in costs and a £32 victim surcharge after attempting to avoid paying Council Tax.
Applications are now open for children and young people who are due to start school, or transfer to middle, secondary or upper school in September 2024.
It was day of connections, conversations and cake for the volunteers of Central Bedfordshire at a celebration event held at The Rufus Centre, Flitwick on Wednesday 7 June.
