Ahead of this week's Homelessness Awareness Week, Bedford Homeless Partnership launched a Charter that was co-produced by organisations and people with lived experience of homelessness to bring together businesses, educational establishments, organisations, politicians and the general public to help end homelessness in our borough.
It is Bedford's Homelessness Awareness Week next week, with lots of varied events.
The recent publication of the consultation on plans for services on the East Midlands Railway franchise from December 2020 confirmed local rail users' worst fears, and revealed the extent of the damage done by the Conservatives' removal of Bedford from its historic place on the intercity rail map.
Last week's Road Safety Week had a theme of 'Step Up for Safe Streets', which is all about enabling us all to get around in safe and healthy ways, every day.
"You don't have to vote for the two tired old parties - you can vote for a brighter future where we stop Brexit and reinvest in our public services and in addressing inequality." That's the message from Daniel Norton, Liberal Democrat candidate for North East Bedfordshire, in a new video this week where he sets out just some of the reasons to vote for the Liberal Democrats in the General Election.
Today is Fuel Poverty Awareness Day, the national day to raise awareness of the issue of fuel poverty and the solutions available.
