Bedford Borough Liberal Democrats have called for Anglian Water to be overhauled, along with the rest of the water industry, following an overdue apology for sewage dumping. This comes following the Surfers against Sewage Paddle Out Protest this weekend, demanding that water companies stop making a profit from pollution and start investing in our future, for the sake of people and the planet.
Bedford Borough Council is offering local community groups the chance to #ColourTheBorough as part of the annual tulip bulb giveaway.
Outdoor gym equipment has now been installed as part of the Riverside for All project that was overseen by Councillor Henry Vann as the former Portfolio Holder for Town Centres and Planning.

Bedford Borough Liberal Democrats have called on the Conservative Mayor to keep the Climate Change, Housing and Rural Affairs Committees of the Executive introduced by former Mayor Dave Hodgson.

However, the future of these committees is now under threat, following the announcement that the Mayor is reviewing whether to continue with them or not.
The government have announced that Bedford Borough Council has won funding for cycling and walking schemes to help promote healthy travel, reduce emissions and congestion. The successful bid was put together earlier this year after hard work from officers and Dave Hodgson's Executive.
