The Hat Factory provided:- • Public entertainment • Workshops and classes • Creative Industries Incubator • Centre for artistic and creative development and exhibition • Home to 20+ local businesses The Head Start project was also based at the Hat Factory whose vision statement was to be recognised as a beacon of best practice. It also provided business incubation and growth for professional development in the media and creative industries sector.

To increase this, the Hat Factory helped start up groups in the arts and creative industries, individuals, self-employed and SME’s. It also provided a focus on engaging women and BME’s and Luton’s 13 Objective 2 wards. The Hat Factory Incubation Project provided a facility and encouraged start-up businesses to get a good start by offering a positive environment and support to grow and develop.

Up to 50 disabled people would visit the Hat Factory participating in drama, dance, music and film, every week for 12 weeks. The strategic Arts Manager concluded that the Hat Factory provided a variety of different performances including:- • Theatre: new work, contemporary issues, plays from the Edinburgh Festival and children’s theatre; • Music: Jazz, R’n’B, Folk, Club nights e.g. Hugh Cornwall, Zoot Money, Chris Difford and Dave O’Higgins • Comedy: up and coming comedians e.g. Richjard Herring, Andy Zaltzman and John Oliver • Film: independent art-house films • Support Artists: Small Change Theatre, Pro-Active Productions and David Benson.

  • What Is Luton Forum's Sustainable Community Strategy?
    Our vision for Luton in 2026 Luton’s Sustainable Community Strategy ‘We want Luton to be prettier – friendly and nice’, quote from a younger resident at our community consultation event, February 2008 Designed by Communications Luton Borough Council October ‘08 NMD 1729 Luton’s Sustainable Community Strategy 2008 - 2026 Luton’s Sustainable Community Strategy 2008 - 2026 Partners Notes 33 Luton’s Sustainable Community Strategy 2008 - 2026 Luton’s Sustainable Community Strategy 2008 - 2026 Notes Young people are at the heart of our vision for Luton and have been involved in developing it in many ways. The strategy is illustrated with artwork by young people brought together by SNAP, a local voluntary organisation. The pictures show their ideas of Luton in 2026. 32 1 Luton’s Sustainable Community Strategy 2008 - 2026 Luton’s Sustainable Community Strategy 2008 - 2026 Foreword Notes By Councillor Hazel Simmons, Chair of the Luton Forum. Welcome to the Luton Forum’s Sustainable Community Strategy 2008-2026. The Luton Forum is a partnership of statutory and mainstream agencies, the voluntary and community sector, and business representatives. We are committed to working together to make Luton a better place to be – both now and by 2026. That may seem an odd fgure but it’s 18 years. We chose it because we wanted our strategy to paint a picture of what Luton will be like when someone born today enters adulthood – what life chances would we like them to have? What opportunities do we want to create for them over the next 18 years? But this strategy is not only focused on young people – we want Luton to be a town where all residents, regardless of age, enjoy a good quality of life.

    AGENDA ITEM 11 Integrated Youth Support (IYS) – North Neighbourhood update The IYS team in the north area of Luton has worked with a number of young people across the area both within youth centres and in schools. Our work involves informal education opportunities organised by youth workers and information, advice & guidance by personal advisors. Below is a brief outline of just some of our youth projects that have taken place recently and some forthcoming events: Connect Arts 2009 The youth centres involved in the connect arts 2009 took part in the youth showcase event at the Hat Factory. Groups of young people attending our youth centres were involved in African dance & drumming, street dance, St.Georges day dragon modelling and stage set design. The event was attended by friends & families and gave young people a public performance experience. Our groups for disabled young people also performed at the event and had a great time. Devon Residential The north area ‘young voice’ group attended a four-day residential to Devon during the Easter holidays and took part in a wide variety of outdoor activities that were both challenging and adventurous. The 16 young people aged 13- 18yrs were involved in team activities and group work and will now form the area group for young people having a voice and influencing local youth provisions. Boom Bus The mobile youth bus provision has been a regular feature on a Friday night in the Runfold area as an identified hot spot. Youth workers are engaging with 13-17yr olds who are not accessing current youth provision and this has proved a success with young people/parents.

The purpose of this report is to set down the Community Engagement Strategy for this development, what people said and how Ballymore Properties Ltd has learnt and responded to their comments and involvement. Power Court is currently a light industrial area which has been identified as a area for regeneration along with the adjacent Hat Factory area in the David Locke Masterplan. The consultation was focussed on the changes to the site and all aspects of our proposals including; retail, residential, landscaping, transport, community facilities and design. Our starting point was that it is vital to consult as widely as possible on every aspect of our development. This is essential to ensure that our final proposals effectively meet the aspirations of people living and working in Luton. Working together with all members of the client team, we have undertaken an extensive local consultation over the last fourteen months with all levels of stakeholders from community leaders, community groups, businesses, and residents through to elected representatives and other interested parties. We have directly contacted over 15,000 households in the LU1, LU2, LU3, LU4 and LU5 postal areas of Luton.

Our latest Quarterly Economic Survey (QES) results has clearly illustrated business confidence has taken a significant dip, with future domestic and export orders forecast to be on the pessimistic side and investment intentions seeing further declines. While we’re working closely with British Chambers of Commerce to ensure members are as up to date on the latest issues surrounding Brexit, we recognise there are local challenges businesses are having to face; many of which we can have a direct influence on. After consulting with over 100 members on their key priorities for the coming year we have been able to shape a manifesto that reflects the challenges, BUSINESS opportunities and changes members believe will create a positive impact on the success of business in Bedfordshire. The manifesto sets out its priorities in three core themes; People, Place & Trade.
