WHAT IS #SAVEOURTOWN?
#saveourtown is a volunteer-led, community action group made up of Lutonians to save Luton from stagnation and raise awareness of two major regeneration proposals for Newlands Park and Power Court - a site that has sat toxic and derelict in the centre of town for a decade. www.saveourtow...
WHAT ARE THE PROPOSALS?
Both projects will revitalise a town that has seen steady decline and stagnation over recent years and would:
• put £250million a year into the local economy
• provide 10,000 jobs
The regeneration proposals include:
• a new 17,500-seat stadium for Luton Town Football Club
• a new riverside public space and piazza
• an 1,800-capacity music venue (similar in size to Shepherd's Bush Empire in London)
• leisure and community facilities, including a new cinema
• restaurants and bars
• aspirational retail
• homes
• offices
• a conference centre
WHY DO WE NEED TO #SAVEOURTOWN?
More than 11,000 people wrote to Luton Borough Council to support the plans when they were consulted on and submitted in summer 2016 - a UK planning record.
However, there is one major objector to the plans - Capital and Regional, operators of The Mall shopping centre. We say, it’s time for them to listen to the will of the people.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to improve our home for future generations and #saveourtown will make sure the voices of Lutonians and supporters are heard, so that these applications get approved and we can all get the Luton we deserve.
