We were also unfortunate that we had C&R dominating the town centre, a company with a stated strategy of dominating town centres pretty much to the exclusion of all else. Though they might just have done us a small, inadvertent favour by delaying Power Court!
But hell, it is set in some great countryside, it has one of the most vibrant and cosmopolitan communities in the UK and in Bury Park it has one of the most amazing High Streets in England. I live in the Meon Valley in a small town and our town centre isn't even as good as the Arndale.
We don't have a football team, it merged with another town's team and moved into their ground. Luton has a team in the Premier League with a new stadium on the way and 2020 guiding it. The football club is a massive asset and one of the many wonderful things about getting to the top flight was those celebrations with the Asian community getting so involved. If we can build on that with Power Court . . .
So, I don't see my town through rose tints, I see those same discarded mattresses, I see how the appalling inequality we've allowed into our society impacts it, I see how the station has been left to rot while other places get funding for upgrades. It is, in parts, a dump.
But it's our dump, and it does still have some spirit and community and of course LTFC! I feel proud of the place for what it manages to be; in the grip of greater adversity than many places around it, and it's far from lost just yet.
