Central Bedfordshire Council libraries are inviting children to take part in the 2026 Summer Reading Challenge, Read to the Beat, launching on Friday 17 July until Saturday 5 September 2026.
Residents in Ampthill and Flitwick can help shape plans for a new green wheel – accessible walking and cycling routes linking both towns with the surrounding countryside.
Council tenants have helped shape improvements to housing services, contributing to a plan that sets clear priorities to ensure safer homes, better support and a stronger voice in decision‑making.
Central Bedfordshire Council’s leadership strongly backs expanding the Forest of Marston Vale, aligning with government proposals to create 2 new National Forests across the UK.
