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 will temporarily pause garden waste collections for 12 weeks this winter, from Monday, 1 December 2025 to Friday, 20 February 2026. Collections will resume on Monday, 23 February 2026.
Work is underway on a superb new leisure and community centre in Leighton Buzzard where residents will enjoy modern sports, fitness, and community facilities.
Over 1,000 people joined Harry Aikines-Aryeetey, Olympic sprinter and Olympian swimmer, Mark Foster, to celebrate the opening of the new leisure and community centre on Saturday 29 March.
Young carers from Central Bedfordshire were treated to a series of exciting and well-deserved activities over Easter, providing them with a much-needed break from their caring responsibilities.
People who want to continue with fortnightly garden waste collections from 1 April 2024 are being urged to sign up to ensure they get the most from our subscription-only service.
