Who's Who in Central Bedfordshire Council |

We have been asked by voluntary organisations to let them know who the key local authority officers will be in the new Central Bedfordshire Council. The information, which is now being uploaded to our website, includes a description of the departmental services as well as the names, job titles, telephone numbers and email addresses of key staff. We will continue to update these details as new information becomes available. |
