Our newly-appointed Executive Member for Children and Families and Deputy Executive Member have issued a joint update following their first week in post.
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.
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.
On Thursday, 15 May, Councillor Kevin Collins was appointed as Chair of Central Bedfordshire Council and Councillor Vicky Malone has been appointed as Vice Chair.
What makes a great place to live? That’s the question we're asking as we begin to develop a new Local Plan that will shape the future of Central Bedfordshire.
People who want to continue with fortnightly garden waste collections from 1 April 2024 are being urged to sign up to ensure they get the most from our subscription-only service.
