Council leaders warn region could miss out on vital new funding and investment

The leaders of Luton and Milton Keynes are urging their counterparts in Bedford and Central Bedfordshire to all work together to keep the region’s devolution opportunity on track, following confirmation from the Government that Bedford, Central Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes (BLMK) is the only area it will consider taking forward for the region.
Cllr Amjid Ali, Leader of Luton Council

Statement from Cllr Amjid Ali, Leader of Luton Council, in response to comments about Luton and its communities

Luton is a town I am incredibly proud to call home. The comments made about Luton by Blake Stephenson are simply unacceptable. They are also completely untrue and do a disservice to the people who live and work in our town. There are no “no-go zones” in Luton where white people cannot or will not go. That is not the Luton I know, it is not the Luton our residents know, and it is not supported by the facts.
