Opening the Superb New Library Facility at Lincroft School
Getting out to schools around the Borough and talking to the staff and the children is without doubt one of the most enjoyable parts of the job of Mayor, and this week I had the honour of opening new library facilities at Lincroft School in Oakley. The new facilities will be a superb boost for the pupils, and it is clear that a lot of careful planning has gone into making sure they bring maximum benefit. As the School itself says, the library is the heart of the school. The library was obviously very well-stocked with books, magazines and of course IT equipment, and it is clear that as at schools across the Borough, at Lincroft Middle they are helping the children to enjoy their library and to really get the most from it (and to see it as so much more than somewhere they are forced to hang around in during wet break times, which is how some adults apparently remember their school library!).

Sleeping Out for an Excellent Local Charity
On Friday night, I am taking part in the King's Arms Project's 2012 'SleepOut 2012.' The King's Arms project is a Christian charity which supports homeless people in Bedford. It does fantastic work in support some of the most disadvantaged and vulnerable people in our community, and I am very pleased that it is one of the causes which will be benefitting from the fundraising activities of the Mayor's Charity throughout this year.

Christmas Bin Collection Arrangements
Bin collection days are obviously affected by Christmas, and the arrangements for the holiday period are available on the Council's website, here: http://www.bedford.gov.uk/council_and_democracy/council_news/xmas_bin_collections.aspx. There are no missed collections at all, but there are changes for everyone, so if you're not sure of your collection days during the holiday period, you can double-check them there. Normal collection days resume on Monday 9th January 2012
