We're celebrating a successful year of delivering the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) and Rural England Prosperity Fund (REPF).

People visiting Central Bedfordshire’s Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRCs,) will soon benefit from a new online booking system designed to make trips quicker, easier and more efficient.
