Mayor of Bedford Borough, Dave Hodgson, said “With a drastic rise in Covid-19 cases being seen across London, the South East and East of England, Bedford borough has been placed into a new Tier 4 with further restrictions in place from Sunday (December 20).

“These include a return to the November period of national restrictions in many ways, with non-essential retail closing and further limits on who we can see, and a change to Christmas with only a single household or support bubble permitted to meet indoors.

“This is a real sacrifice and I’d like to thank every single person in Bedford borough for their actions in recent months and over the coming days to slow the spread of the virus.”
