Councillor Adam Zerny, Leader of the Council welcomed Emma Hardy, Minister for Water and Flooding to Leighton Buzzard today, Thursday 26 September 2024.
Council officers, volunteers and emergency services were out in force last night giving advice and guidance to people in areas affected by and at risk of further flooding due to heavy overnight.
A flooding summit, called after heavy rains in 2024, outlined how Central Bedfordshire organisations will collaborate to reduce future flood impacts on homes, roads, and infrastructure.
People across Bedfordshire are being urged to get involved as a countywide partnership begins to explore opportunities to restore, expand and enhance nature and wildlife habitats in the area.
Central Bedfordshire has been recognised as being home to some of the best parks and green spaces in the country in the 2023 National Green Flag Awards.
Today is Changing Places Awareness Day and we are delighted to announce that we have received £60k in government grant funding to install a Changing Places Toilet.
