We're inviting residents to celebrate the official opening of the brand-new Leighton Leisure and Community Centre with a special Family Fun Day on Saturday 27 June 2026.
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.
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.
We welcome a new plan from the government, called ‘Giving Every Child the Best Start in Life’, which aims to improve support for children and families from pregnancy to age 5.
Work is underway on a superb new leisure and community centre in Leighton Buzzard where residents will enjoy modern sports, fitness, and community facilities.
We joined forces with Bedfordshire Police and other partner agencies at the end of May to support Operation Sceptre, a national campaign aimed at tackling knife crime and keeping communities safe.
Central Bedfordshire Council has convened a third multi-agency Flood Summit to review progress, share outcomes, and continue collaborative action to address local flood risk.
Over the past 12 months, we've been engaging with residents to help shape the new Local Plan. We'd like to give you an update on where we are up to with that.
