Residents across Bedfordshire can now have their say on a new plan that will help guide where materials needed to build homes and roads come from, and how waste is managed in the future.
Residents are being asked to delay taking old fridges and freezers to Central Bedfordshire's Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRCs) while a specialist recycling facility clears a backlog following its planned maintenance work.
In March 2026, the government published the Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2026. These introduce a new plan-making system.
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.
With temperatures dropping and many families facing increased energy costs, our libraries and leisure centres will be open as ‘Warm Spaces’ this winter.
