Merry Christmas!

A short note to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas. This morning I am looking forward to visiting the maternity unit at Bedford Hospital, the Cygent Wing, and giving my best wishes to all staff, to new parents and possibly saying hello to any Christmas Day arrivals! Later on I'll be visiting Bedford Concern for the Homeless and Rootless's (BECHAR) Prebend Day Centre as its Christmas Lunch is prepared, before going on to Bedford Fire Station and saying thank you to those on duty.

Christmas Bin Collection Arrangements

Bin collection days are obviously affected by Christmas, and the arrangements for the holiday period are available on the Council's website, here: http://www.bedford.gov.uk/council_and_democracy/council_news/xmas_bin_collections.aspx. There are no missed collections at all, but there are changes for everyone, so if you're not sure of your collection days during the holiday period, you can double-check them there. Normal collection days resume on Monday 9th January 2012

Have your say on the new Great Western Rail franchise

Rail passengers in Wiltshire are being asked for their views on how their rail services should be run, Rail Minister Theresa Villiers has announced. A consultation gives passengers, local councils and other interested groups the chance to say what improvements and changes they want to see delivered by the new Great Western franchise, which is to be renewed in 2013.
