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.
At a meeting on 7 October, Central Bedfordshire Council’s Executive agreed plans to consult on its Local Council Tax Support Scheme (LCTS) for working-age claimants.
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.
A Central Bedfordshire resident has been sentenced to an £80 fine plus ordered to pay £250 in costs and a £32 victim surcharge after attempting to avoid paying Council Tax.
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.
It’s not just gritters getting ready for roads this winter season. Work is well underway as we steps up efforts to prevent and repair potholes, and make reporting them easier and more transparent.
