Ready, Set, Read! is the theme for the Summer Reading Challenge at Bedford Borough Libraries this year. It runs from Saturday 15 July through to Saturday 9 September and promises to be an exciting and engaging programme for children aged four to eleven.
Local Election Day is Thursday 4 May, when elections will be held for the Mayor of Bedford Borough, Borough Councillors, and Parish and Town Councillors where areas have parish/town councils that are contested (ie. more candidates than seats on the Council).
From Saturday 29 April to Sunday 7 May, families are invited to visit Bedford Borough Libraries for free fun Coronation-themed craft activities. Bedford Central, Bromham, Kempston, Putnoe, and Wootton libraries all have activities planned.
For the first time, electors voting in person at polling stations will need to show photographic ID to vote at this year’s local elections, including electors in Bedford Borough.
