Surge testing is continuing in Bedford Borough to tackle the high rates of infection locally. This weekend, teams of volunteers will be going door-to-door in Cauldwell, Kingsbrook and Queens Park to hand out free PCR test kits to residents, returning the same day to collect them. Teams visiting properties to hand out packs will be carrying Bedford Borough Council lanyards.
An extraordinary attempt by Bedford Borough Conservative Cllrs to reverse several years of progress towards an East West Railway between Oxford and Cambridge via Bedford and add at least three years of delay was defeated in a Bedford Borough Council meeting last night. The shock move saw the Conservatives U-turn on their previous support for a route through Bedford itself, which they had presented to the public throughout previous stages and the last council and mayoral elections.
Bedford Borough Council is reminding parents and carers of the importance of taking measures to have a safe half-term.
