Lots of Litter Picked
A big thank you to everyone who joined out Alban Way Litter Pick earlier this week.
Let's just say that there was plenty of litter to go round and we left that part of the Alban Way safer and more pleasant for people and wildlife.
If there's somewhere that you think needs a litter pick, then do let me know.

This marks the end of the road for our legal challenge to the Secretary of State’s decision to overrule Planning Inspectors and grant Luton Rising’s application to grow capacity to 32 million passengers a year by building a second terminal on Wigmore Valley Park."
