One year on from its launch, Choose You, is celebrating a successful first year of helping residents across Central Bedfordshire take positive steps towards healthier lifestyles.
Residents are being invited to donate children’s bikes at a special collection event taking place on Monday 25 May, from 10.30am to 12.30pm, at the Sports Pavilion, Tithe Farm Road, Houghton Regis.
Investment in high quality contraception and sexual health services has helped cut the number of new diagnoses of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) by 16% over the last year.
We are encouraging residents and those most at risk of getting seriously ill from flu and COVID-19 to get “winter ready” and get their free Flu and Covid-19 vaccinations.
More drivers could switch to electric vehicles thanks to our successful bid for £1.4 million of government funding to spend improving electric vehicle charging infrastructure in the area.
Residents in Houghton Regis and Leighton-Linslade can now access 5 electric vehicles and 1 hybrid vehicle from as little as £4 per hour or £35 per day.
Drivers of electric vehicles who park on the street outside their homes are trialling a new charging system that provides a safe way to charge their vehicles.
