New boundaries are being proposed for council wards in Central Bedfordshire.

This stage of the consultation closes on 7 September 2020 The Local Government Boundary Commission wants to hear what residents and local organisations think about the proposals. A 10-week consultation on the proposals will run until 7 September 2020.
