Five town centres in Central Bedfordshire will receive a boost from the Council’s allocation of over £450,000 from its UK Shared Prosperity and DEFRA Rural England Prosperity Funds.
From Monday, 10 June 2024, voluntary, community and social enterprise groups, as well as town and parish councils, will be able to apply for a share of £298,000 to fund local capital projects.
More drivers could switch to electric vehicles thanks to our successful bid for £1.4 million of government funding to spend improving electric vehicle charging infrastructure in the area.
Residents in Houghton Regis and Leighton-Linslade can now access 5 electric vehicles and 1 hybrid vehicle from as little as £4 per hour or £35 per day.
Drivers of electric vehicles who park on the street outside their homes are trialling a new charging system that provides a safe way to charge their vehicles.
Much-loved facilities in Central Bedfordshire will benefit from council grants worth £240,000, supporting communities in the area and some of their most disadvantaged residents for years to come.
