As I said yesterday, the biggest problem is that Luton grew too big too quickly and the town has not been able to cope at any level from 1947 onwards. Too many people have come to the town to make money and have zero interest in much else outside their own bubble. People make the town, and there are too many money people and not enough people who care. There has been a sad lack of objections to stupid planning applications, complaining about rubbish, broken pavements, beggars, asb and so on, all of which drag the town down. If pressure does build up for action then there's a token effort emblazoned on social media, oh look at what we are doing. It's a sticking plaster approach which sums up the way the town has been run in the last 20 odd years.
There's a lack of self respect, respect for others and the town all of which perpetuates the crap town label. The brightest have moved away or won't come to live here. We lack leadership at every level and the council hasn't had a plan for jobs since Vauxhall shut - they helped build some offices after Vauxhall left to try to encourage businesses but that failed miserably. Those offices are now flats.
The club in the PL may have helped people identify with the town and encourage them to call it home rather than a place to sleep, eat and make money. PC will hopefully help also but it will be a few generations before the town is turned around.
