The latest weekly coronavirus snapshot for Bedford Borough has been published.
Over 4,000 local households have been supported with the Household Support Fund (HSF) in the last week with Bedford Borough Council making over £345,195 of payments to residents. The grants, which are funded by the Department for Work and Pensions but administered by the Council, provide support to some of the UK's most vulnerable households with rising household costs over the winter.
The Village Tour 2012, or '60 in 30,' is now over, and I want to thank everyone who came out to speak to me at the 60 mobile surgeries across 60 villages in September's 30 days. The fact that so many residents talked to me to share their views on the important matters for our communities was very much appreciated, as was the welcome I received. A variety of weather conditions were experienced, and I am particularly grateful to those who braved wet and windy evenings or sweltering afternoons (we had both of these extremes, and plenty in between!) in the cause of taking the opportunity to talk to me directly while I was in the neighbourhood.
Bedford Borough Council has launched a Rail Investment Strategy, setting out priorities for railway services for Bedford Borough.
Due to coronavirus this is a challenging time for everyone, including children. Children and young people will have particular concerns and questions, so the Children's Commissioner for England has created a children's guide to coronavirus to help explain the situation.
