Luton is not really recognised for its trees or its wildlife, but this is changing. Thanks to the work of the Arches Local working closely with the Council and with Norse, we have been planting trees to make Luton a cleaner and greener community.

Cllr Simon Curry, Medway Labour and Co-operative Group Spokesperson for Regeneration, Culture and the Environment said:

“Many people will have noticed that there are new trees in Luton Millennium Green, and there are now new trees in Luton Primary School, alongside our forest school, and along Luton Road.

“Local residents will know that their Labour councillors have been trying to improve the air quality on Luton Road for some time. Given the serious health consequences of poor air quality, and the location of our Primary School right on this road, we are pleased that thanks to the hard work of Arches Local these trees have now been planted along Luton Road as part of the solution to this problem.

“To find out more about Labour’s plans for our local environment ahead of the election this May, I would encourage everyone to attend our online climate conversation next Tuesday evening.”

Cllr Jo Howcroft-Scott, Labour and Co-operative Group Member for Luton and Wayfield added:

“As your local Labour Councillors, we are passionate about making our environment better for the community in Luton. These new trees not only help with air pollution and biodiversity, but they also look fantastic as well.”
