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 inviting residents, businesses and community groups to have their say on a new Waste Strategy which will shape how waste and recycling is managed across the area for the next 25 years.
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.
Last week (commencing 11 November), we carried out a range of activity in support of Sceptre, a national initiative designed to highlight the dangers and consequences of carrying knives.
As Bonfire Night approaches, our trading standards officers ramp up safety checks on fireworks retailers. Inspections kick off in late October to prevent unsafe or illegal fireworks from reaching you.
