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.
Residents across Central Bedfordshire are being reminded that the popular Young Person’s (YP) Card scheme will continue to offer excellent value for money, despite a fare increase coming into effect.
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.
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.
Using buses in Central Bedfordshire remains highly affordable for young people as the £1 maximum single fare for anyone aged 18 and under, introduced in 2024, will continue for the foreseeable future.
