We celebrated our foster carers at a ‘Celebration of Fostering’ event this weekend, recognising 15 households who together have given an incredible 105 years of dedicated fostering service.
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 will temporarily pause garden waste collections for 12 weeks this winter, from Monday, 1 December 2025 to Friday, 20 February 2026. Collections will resume on Monday, 23 February 2026.
We're excited to launch Mockingbird, an innovative model aimed at strengthening support for foster carers and creating a secure, nurturing environment for children in care.
We hosted our annual ‘Celebration of Fostering’ event last weekend, where 14 households were presented with long service awards to commemorate their contribution to fostering.
People who want to continue with fortnightly garden waste collections from 1 April 2024 are being urged to sign up to ensure they get the most from our subscription-only service.
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.
