Bedford Borough Council have announced that they are able to relaunch their Community Champion and Park Champion schemes once more, as lockdown restrictions are gradually being eased. However, they are approaching with cautious optimism in order to keep volunteers and staff as safe as possible.
This weekend would have been River Festival Weekend. Sadly we have had to postpone this until 2021 due to the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic.
Local Plans set out where growth and development will take place- everything from houses and jobs to schools and infrastructure.
The Government has finally released the Coronavirus 'Pillar 2' testing data. You will recall Mayor Dave Hodgson has been calling on the Government to provide this data, along with more detailed postcode level data to enable us to make better informed decisions locally.
Mayor Dave Hodgson has thanked residents, businesses, NHS staff, all our carers and council staff, police and other emergency services in his monthly Bedford Independent Column.
Infection rates in Bedford Borough are high compared to other places in the South, so Bedford Borough Council is urging people to be careful this weekend.
