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 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.
People visiting Central Bedfordshire’s Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRCs,) will soon benefit from a new online booking system designed to make trips quicker, easier and more efficient.
The Council is making £100,000 of funding available for its Children’s Centre Crisis Fund, an initiative designed to support families facing unexpected financial difficulties.
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.
