With national restrictions in place closing businesses including pubs, restaurants and non-essential shops Bedford Borough Council is calling on residents to do everything they can to drive down infection rates and avoid the extension of restrictions locally in December.
Following announcements from the Government regarding new national restrictions to control the spread of coronavirus, The Higgins Bedford will temporarily close from Thursday 5 November until at least Wednesday 2 December 2020.
The Government has confirmed that businesses required to close from Thursday 5 November during this new national lockdown are expected to qualify for a support grant from the Council.
The threat of flooding is a major risk to many homes across Bedford Borough and the Council is urging residents to be flood aware this flood awareness week.
Bedford Borough Council is investing £650,000 to carry out improvements and prolong the life of Kings Bridge, which provides a vital link across the river for pedestrians and cyclists. The works focus on repainting, steelwork refurbishment and decking replacement. The refurbishment is part of the Council's investment in walking and cycling infrastructure across Bedford Borough.
A series of new introductory videos are being released by Bedfordshire Archives as their Community Archives are relaunched as Community Histories.
