We're inviting residents, businesses and organisations to take part in its Local Plan scoping consultation and help shape how the area will grow in the years ahead.
Our newly-appointed Executive Member for Children and Families and Deputy Executive Member have issued a joint update following their first week in post.
Last year, we started work on developing a new Local Plan that will shape the future of new homes, jobs and infrastructure, recreation and leisure, transport, local facilities, and green spaces.
We welcome a new plan from the government, called ‘Giving Every Child the Best Start in Life’, which aims to improve support for children and families from pregnancy to age 5.
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.
Central Bedfordshire Council has convened a third multi-agency Flood Summit to review progress, share outcomes, and continue collaborative action to address local flood risk.
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.
