Village Bin Collections

10/08/20 From Monday 17 August 2020, garden waste collections will be returning to fortnightly collections.

These collections were suspended and then reintroduced on a monthly basis to ensure that the bin crews could continue an uninterrupted collection of household waste and recycling.

Now, with crews stabilised the Council is reintroducing garden waste collections on a normal schedule of every two weeks, with the recycling collections.

You can check your bin collection dates at www.bedford.gov.uk/bins, and the schedule will be back to normal so if you have a printed calendar for your bin collections this year that will also be correct.

Covid-19, Important information on the Cople News Magazine and Events

The Cople News Monthly Magazine

Ged has been editing and printing the monthly Cople News magazine for 10 years. Ged has worked tirelessly, never missing a month. He has made significant changes including increased advertising to cover the cost of distribution, ensuring the magazine not only became a free publication and delivered to every house in the village but also a colour cover.

The October 2020 edition will be Ged’s last edition. We wish to thank Ged for all his hard work. At the same time, Ged also offers a vote of thanks to everyone else who continues to help with the Cople News, including the team that delivers the magazine, Brenda who manages the distribution and Andrew who is the treasurer.

But, fear not, the magazine lives on, from the November 2020 issue Libby Sands and Linda Behan have volunteered to continue the magazine. We wish them every success.

Please support Libby and Linda in this task. If you have an article of interest, need to advertise an event, or wish to place some advertising they will be very pleased to hear from you.
