On Saturday during Luton Lights Up for Christmas, Mayor of Luton Cllr Amy Nichols announced a year packed full of events and festivities in 2026 to celebrate Luton’s borough anniversary.

Luton Council has welcomed the Chancellor’s announcement that the two-child benefit cap will be abolished from next April - a change set to lift thousands of local children out of poverty and transform the lives of thousands of children across the town.

Luton Council has launched a 12-week public consultation on its new draft Local Transport Plan and is inviting residents to share their views.

Town-wide light-switch-on events celebrating community spirit and festive cheer will take place across Luton in the coming weeks.

Following ongoing reports of fly tipping at the Calverton Road glass recycling centre, and as part of the council’s intensified ‘War on Waste’, officers from the council’s Investigations Team deployed CCTV at the location.
