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.
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.
Silsoe Horticulture Centre welcomed guests from Willow Branch and Bee Hive Day Centres to celebrate the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe (VE) Day with a meaningful day of joy and memories.
Over the past 12 months we’ve been engaging with residents, town and parish councils, councillors and other key stakeholders to help shape the vision and objectives for the Local Plan.
