Today marks the three-year anniversary of the first COVID-19 lockdown in March 2020. Bedford Borough remembers the residents we lost over this time and supports all those still suffering from physical and mental health issues from the pandemic. The Council has been praised for their outstanding work during the pandemic, from Mayor Dave Hodgson setting up the Community Hub, to the activation of thousands of volunteers to help support vulnerable people, to the provision of food for those in need and the provision of air filters in schools to ensure our pupils could study safely.
