At a meeting on 7 October, Central Bedfordshire Council’s Executive agreed plans to consult on its Local Council Tax Support Scheme (LCTS) for working-age claimants.
Our Social Work and Social Care Workforce Development team has been recognised in the 2025 Princess Royal Training Awards, presented by HRH The Princess Royal and the City and Guilds Foundation.
A Central Bedfordshire resident has been sentenced to an £80 fine plus ordered to pay £250 in costs and a £32 victim surcharge after attempting to avoid paying Council Tax.
More drivers could switch to electric vehicles thanks to our successful bid for £1.4 million of government funding to spend improving electric vehicle charging infrastructure in the area.
Residents in Houghton Regis and Leighton-Linslade can now access 5 electric vehicles and 1 hybrid vehicle from as little as £4 per hour or £35 per day.
Drivers of electric vehicles who park on the street outside their homes are trialling a new charging system that provides a safe way to charge their vehicles.
One of our social workers, who previously won two national social work awards, has been awarded the British Empire Medal (BEM) in the 2024 New Year Honours list.
