There is a fantastic line-up of engaging and educational activities for families to enjoy during the upcoming half-term break from Saturday 27 May to Sunday 4 June. From interactive creative sessions to captivating storytelling sessions, Bedford Borough Libraries and The Higgins Bedford are both set to provide a vibrant and enriching experience for children and parents alike.
Bedford Borough Liberal Democrats have called on the Conservative Mayor to keep the Climate Change, Housing and Rural Affairs Committees of the Executive introduced by former Mayor Dave Hodgson. The committees ensure that these important issues are kept at the forefront of public discussion. However, the future of these committees is now under threat, following the announcement that the Mayor is reviewing whether to continue with them or not.
The government have announced that Bedford Borough Council has won funding for cycling and walking schemes to help promote healthy travel, reduce emissions and congestion. The successful bid was put together earlier this year after hard work from officers and Dave Hodgson's Executive.
The Great Big Green Week is the UK's biggest call for action on climate change, and will take place this year between 10 and 18 June 2023. Bedford Borough Council is proud to announce its participation and is planning a wide range of events.
After two years of delays and poor communication with residents, the government have finally made a decision on the East West Rail route. They have chosen route alignment 1 with an expansion to six tracks north of Bedford Station.
Pints in the Parishes gets underway tonight. I'll be at the Swan in Elstow from around 7.00pm. I'm looking forward to meeting people in a local, informal setting, and giving them the chance to bend my ear about what's important to them and to their local community.
