We are encouraging residents to take simple steps to prepare for flooding and be ready for periods of heavy rainfall, during the national Flood Action Week campaign.
Central Bedfordshire Council, Luton Council and Bedford Borough Council have secured government support to develop a new fostering hub to help recruit, approve and support more foster carers across the area.
Action to tackle flooding in the Pix Brook catchment has begun at Etonbury Woods, with the removal of a disused footbridge marking the first visible step in a wider ‘Slow the Flow’ programme of work.
We celebrated our foster carers at a ‘Celebration of Fostering’ event this weekend, recognising 15 households who together have given an incredible 105 years of dedicated fostering service.
Safer pavements, clearer road markings and new flood technology – £148,000 of upgrades are helping keep Central Bedfordshire’s roads open and accessible.
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.
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.
