Contact us remotely to stop spread of coronavirus, urges Bedford Borough Council

The council is encouraging residents to contact them remotely if at all possible, to reduce the risk of spreading coronavirus.

In a statement, Bedford Borough Council is reminding people they can book a visit to the recycling centre, pay council tax, report a pothole or missed bin collection online here or via email [email protected] or phone 01234 267422.

If you have to go to a council building wear a face covering.

Cllr Louise Jackson, portfolio holder for health and wellbeing said: “For everyone’s safety please only come into visit in person if you cannot contact us any other way. When visiting please take precautions; keep two metres apart where possible, use the hand sanitiser provided, wash your hands regularly, and wear a face covering if you can.”

There are exemptions for people who don’t need to wear a face covering. Advice on face coverings, exemptions, and how to make face coverings can be found on the Government website here
