It's never too early to plan for your safety, but it can become too late.

Many people don't realise that leaving an abusive relationship is often the most dangerous time. If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic abuse, having a safety plan before leaving can make a real difference.

You don't have to wait until things get worse to ask for help. Support is available, and you deserve to be safe.

This incident was in Baldock, but we regularly see drivers not paying attention to the road in Biggleswade too - and they fail to stop for pedestrians already on a zebra crossing.

We are in discussion with CBC Community Safety team on what action can be taken to address this issue. Have had this occur at Stratton House crossing on London Road, at Iceland at Station Road, the crossings on Shortmead Street and the Potton Road crossings near Edward Peake School.

Are there any other zebra crossings in Biggleswade where you are seeing this happen?

A man was arrested after the incident in which a woman in her 80s was seriously injured, police say.

Our next group meeting is coming up soon - on Monday 14 September at Biggleswade Fire Station Community Room. We will report on our recent work and discuss ideas for new projects to help shape the safety of our community. If you have any suggestions for things you would like us to focus on please feel free to join us from 19:30.

We are looking for new volunteer members to join the committee, and people to join Street Watch, Speed Watch, Neighbourhood Watch, Dog Watch and to help with our task force events and graffiti projects. We also need more people with social media experience to help us promote the group's events.

In the past year we have done two task force actions to clear vegetation from key paths, held regular Bike Register Bike Marking events at Biggleswade Market, and supported the police by running numerous Street Watch patrols and some Speed Watch sessions. And we supported other groups' events with marshalling: Charity Bath Pushes, Spud Man, Tractor Rally and the Remembrance Day parades. Our next event will be supporting this year's Vintage Bus day later in September. We are planning new projects with BTC to tackle graffiti and other initiatives. Please email [email protected] if you would like to find out more.
