Mayor Dave Hodgson recently wrote to petrol stations in Bedford Borough urging them to reduce their prices so Bedford residents are not charged more than those living in Milton Keynes.
Our thoughts are with The Queen, and entire Royal Family on this sad day. The Duke of Edinburgh was the longest-serving royal consort in British History and we are flying the Union Flag at half-mast at both Borough Hall and the Old Town Hall to mark his life, and death at the age of 99.
Everyone who lives or works in Bedford Borough and is over the age of 18 will be able to get a free rapid Covid-19 test twice a week.
Bedford Borough Council is refurbishing Kings Bridge, the pedestrian bridge over the River Great Ouse between the Oasis Beach Pool and the Aspects Leisure Park.
