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.
The new £33.9 million facility, operated by Everyone Active on behalf of Central Bedfordshire Council, is a major investment for Leighton Buzzard and the surrounding area.
We're inviting residents, businesses and organisations to take part in its Local Plan scoping consultation and help shape how the area will grow in the years ahead.
Biggleswade Library will close temporarily from Tuesday 13 January 2026 to allow essential maintenance works to repair internal water damage caused by an issue with the external drainage.
Last year, we started work on developing a new Local Plan that will shape the future of new homes, jobs and infrastructure, recreation and leisure, transport, local facilities, and green spaces.
Thousands of cycling fans lined the streets yesterday, Thursday 4 September, as Central Bedfordshire proudly hosted the Stage Three finish of the prestigious Tour of Britain in Ampthill.
