@SueGoughPR @SueGoughPR Thanks for the infromation. We did try earlier this year to get the free school meal holiday shopping vouchers increased given increasing costs, but weren't sucessful . Now looks like they might go altogether in government cuts.

Bedford Borough Liberal Democrats respond to the Conservatives’ £12m Forecast Overspend in Bedford Borough. @AmyHolmesMedia @bedfordindy @BBC3CR @BedfordLibDems

[Beds Fire and Rescue @BedsFire]

Following the recent local elections, Bedfordshire Fire and Rescue Authority have appointed a new Chair and Vice-Chair. Councillor Jacqui Burnett has been appointed as the new Chair with Councillor Michael Headley appointed as the new Vice-Chair. https://t.co/P6jYzFJuSN

As Councillor @michaelheadley1 says the extension to Putnoe Walk-in Centre to 2024 is very good news but we need to get away from having to face this uncertainty every couple of years and see the service secured on a permanent basis.

[Ed Davey @EdwardJDavey]

This is the darkest day for our continent since 1945. The blood of every innocent Ukrainian who perishes in this illegal invasion is on Putin’s hands.

We must stand with Ukraine. It is time to let rip on the most severe of punitive sanctions.

[Dave Hodgson @DaveHBedford]

Ofsted have rated our Children’s Services as ‘Good’.

I’d like to pay tribute and thanks to all Children’s Services staff, and to parents, carers and our partners, who have supported and engaged with us and are dedicated to improving the lives of children in Bedford Borough.

📣 If you have not yet had the #COVID19 vaccine 💉 bc you have questions about safety or effectiveness, my DMs are open:

• I’m non-judgemental & won’t call you an anti-vaxxer
• I’ll share links to evidence and resources for you to read
• I recognise it’s a personal choice

[Michael Headley 🔶 @michaelheadley1]

@N_G_Foster @DaveTheMayor @N_G_Foster Thanks for letting us know about the problem. I have passed this on to the council's Highways Team.

[Secret Headteacher @secretHT1]

I am pleased the 4 year olds in September will be responsible for identifying their own close contacts with the help of the Test and Trace team.

That’ll work.

[Rachel Gooch @SchoolDuggery]

NHS Test & Trace will tell close contacts they need a test. They will work out who is a close contact using dowsing rods.

[Dave Hodgson @DaveHBedford]

A report looking at options around the East West Rail route north of Bedford Midland has shown that the service could run effectively using just the existing four lines, and avoid the need to demolish any homes in the Poets area.

We're being criticised for using the word apartheid to describe Voi Cemetery in Kenya. I struggle to think of a better phrase to describe this place. Watch for yourself.
The other outrage is that the Commonwealth War Graves commission knew about this for years - and did nothing

[Michael Headley 🔶 @michaelheadley1]

@BedsFire I don't think this is a helpful RT now we are entering Tier 4.

[Michael Headley 🔶 @michaelheadley1]

@TopGun_Wani @BedfordLibDems @BedfordTweets Thanks for letting us know. The council website is having problems. Sorry about that, can you try again later please.

#Covid19 update in Punjabi:

[Bedford Borough Liberal Democrats @BedfordLibDems]

This @BedfordTweets video sets out the sheer scale of the impact of Coronavirus on Bedford Borough Council’s financial position...

[Bedford Borough Council @BedfordTweets]

Last week, the Executive discussed the financial impact of coronavirus on the Council in a report which set out an expected gap of £32.6m over the next 2 years.

Coronavirus has impacted services across the Council from lost income to providing support services for the vulnerable

[Michael Headley 🔶 @michaelheadley1]

@TheferretFreya @jburnmurdoch just upper tier. The data available really isn't good enough, but at least PHE recognises pillar 2 tests.

[Michael Headley 🔶 @michaelheadley1]

@jburnmurdoch The PHE weekly surveillance report is better, gives pillar 1 and 2.

[Sir Chris Ham @profchrisham]

the lockdown should not be eased further until we are confident that a fully functioning test and trace system is in place - and we're not there yet while local outbreak plans are being written and data sharing arrangements have to be resolved
