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.
Eleven local authorities across the East of England have joined forces in a bid to collectively recruit more foster carers to look after some of the region’s most vulnerable children.
The opening of the first-ever crematorium in Central Bedfordshire, Oakfield Gardens in Steppingley, marks a significant milestone for bereavement services in the area.
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.
