Central Bedfordshire Council, Luton Council and Bedford Borough Council have secured government support to develop a new fostering hub to help recruit, approve and support more foster carers across the area.

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.

Children needing mainstream school support, families affected by domestic abuse, and young people in care will get renewed support under new Central Bedfordshire Council plans.

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.

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.
