Bedford Borough Council is calling on motorists to help in a clampdown on road users who throw litter from their vehicles. The council has been collecting large volumes of roadside litter each day during targeted litter picks in February and March. Council crews have to regularly carry out this dangerous task alongside major routes such as the A421 and A6.
Next Thursday we have elections in Bedford Borough for Mayor, Borough Councillors and Parish Councillors where there are contested elections.
Next weekend we will be celebrating the Coronation of King Charles III.
Polls open at 7am on Thursday morning and will remain open until 10pm.
"What happens to the innocent families who are compulsorily evicted under this process?" asks Luton Liberal Democrat Councillor David Franks. "It is an evil plan."
With the warmer weather approaching it's great to see more dog owners enjoying our local parks and green spaces. However, it is important to remember that this is also a critical time for many species of nesting birds. Bedford Borough Council is urging residents to take extra care when walking dogs in areas where nesting birds may be present.
