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.

We have launched a new Sustainable Student Programme, offering young people in Years 10–12 (aged 14 to 17) the opportunity to explore climate change.

Pupils moving to secondary and upper schools in September have found out whether they have been allocated one of their school preferences.

Fewer reports of potholes – and more of them repaired faster – is the good news after we made it a priority to address residents’ pothole concerns.

We've been using a new technique that speeds up pothole repairs. It's more cost effective and eco-friendly, too, because it uses the rubber waste from end-of-life HGV tyres.

Together with community environment charity Groundwork East, we're excited to announce a new initiative offering free climate change training to our residents.

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.
