Bedfordshire’s Fire and Rescue is hoping to increase its part of the council tax bill and wants your views.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter) this afternoon (Friday), it said: “We are planning our budget for next year and are considering a council tax increase of 2.99%, which would be £3.28 per year for a Band D property. Would you support this increase to invest in and protect your local fire & rescue service?”
