Our newly-appointed Executive Member for Children and Families and Deputy Executive Member have issued a joint update following their first week in post.
Schools across Central Bedfordshire are being recognised for their commitment to sustainability, with 29 achieving Eco-Schools Green Flag accreditation during the 2024/25 academic year.
We're supporting Sceptre this week (Monday 17 November to Friday 21 November 2025), joining Bedfordshire Police in a national effort to raise awareness of the dangers of carrying a knife.
We're calling on residents, landowners, schools, and community groups to take part in the Tree Tally survey and help shape the future of our green spaces.
We joined forces with Bedfordshire Police and other partner agencies at the end of May to support Operation Sceptre, a national campaign aimed at tackling knife crime and keeping communities safe.
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.
