Central Bedfordshire Council has created over 1,000 extra places at wraparound childcare clubs, giving more families access to before and after school support.
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 inviting residents, businesses and community groups to have their say on a new Waste Strategy which will shape how waste and recycling is managed across the area for the next 25 years.
The Council is making £100,000 of funding available for its Children’s Centre Crisis Fund, an initiative designed to support families facing unexpected financial difficulties.
Data from HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) has shown an increase in the number of families in Central Bedfordshire who are taking advantage of the government’s Tax-Free Childcare scheme.
