Exam celebrations for students and staff took place across Bedford Borough today with provisional figures showing that nearly 97.6% of our pupils achieved at least 1 A* to E grade and 83.2% of our students achieved 3 or more A* to E grades at A-level.
Congratulations to Bedford Town FC on their great season and becoming Southern League Division One Central Champions.
Bedford Borough Council is pleased to announce that a large community effort has resulted in the opening of over 40 warm spaces for residents, with even more to come.
A Liberal Democrat initiative to help Bedford Borough residents in blocks of flats to recycle their waste is set to be rolled out across the Borough after recycling rates rocketed at a number of sites included in a Council pilot scheme. The improvements saw recycling rates increase by up to 160%. The scheme was funded via a successful budget proposal by the Lib Dems, who have long called for improvements to remove the barriers which prevent many who live in blocks of flats from recycling their household waste.
The Liberal Democrats' Manifesto for Bedford Borough has identified 'Six to Fix' for Bedford Borough. These are the areas we have identified as being in the most urgent need of action to improve things for local residents. One of these areas is education, where standards are too low. We must raise GCSE results to above the national average.
