Lutonians all know that our train station isn't fit for purpose and isn't accessible for disabled people, those with mobility issues or families with children in buggies. We deserve better - I'll keep pressing for a station fit for the 21st century.

A fall in income from Luton Airport - owned entirely by @lutoncouncil - is helping to open a £49m deficit in the authority’s finances. Piece I made for this week’s @PoliticsEnglan1

Grounded planes are creating a big hole in councils' budgets. Many have a large stake in regional airports and rely on them for income to fund services @benschofield reports from Luton @BBCPolitics bbc.co.uk/programmes/p08…

There are some really exciting opportunities ahead for the town, even at this early stage.

Sharing thoughts around economic recovery planning today with the Inclusive Growth Board. Really positive engagement from partners with @Sjluton @SineadMcNamara3 @LutonACL @DisabilityMick



Yes, as a registered #architect I agree we need to rethink housing #design but incorporate #inclusive design and understand emerging client needs @CitizensAdvice @lutoncouncil


Need to end your tenancy early because of coronavirus? You can only end a fixed term tenancy early if your contract has a break clause or if you negotiate with your landlord See our website citizensadvice.org.uk @love_luton @lutoncouncil @CitizensAdvice @bedlutcf #housing
