Our newly-appointed Executive Member for Children and Families and Deputy Executive Member have issued a joint update following their first week in post.
In March 2025, we wrote to all parent governors of schools we maintain, seeking nominations for 2 parent governor representative posts on the Children’s Services Overview and Scrutiny Committee.
On Thursday, 15 May, Councillor Kevin Collins was appointed as Chair of Central Bedfordshire Council and Councillor Vicky Malone has been appointed as Vice Chair.
At a meeting on 1 April, Members of our Executive will be asked to approve plans to consult on a proposed change to the Council’s Home to School Transport policy for students aged 5 to 16.
With temperatures dropping and many families facing increased energy costs, our libraries and leisure centres will be open as ‘Warm Spaces’ this winter.
