Saleem, Shaw, Simmons, and Waheed. 25 APOLOGIES FOR ABSENCE (REF: 1) An apology for absence from the meeting was received on behalf of Councillor Roden. 26 MINUTES (REF: 2.1) Resolved: That the Minutes of the meeting of the West Area Board, held on 18th June 2015 be taken as read, and agreed as correct record and the Chair be authorised to sign them. 27 CHAIR’S ANNOUNCEMENTS (REF: 3) The Chair, Councillor T. Malik welcomed all residents and organisations present. 28 FEEDBACK FROM WARD FORUMS (REF: 4) The Ward Councillors advised on the top three key issues raised at their relevant ward forums as follows: CHALLNEY – COUNCILLOR SHAW Over speeding on Penbrook Avenue ; - Need to cut down bushes and trees - Need to reduce speed limit to 20mph. L&D Traffic Plans - Disappointment with the current traffic plans of the redevelopment of the Luton and Dunstable Hospital as submitted to the Council. - During the L&D consultation with local residents, they were not informed of the plans to have access through Lime Avenue and Dunstable Road - Concerns that residents had not been consulted with especially with regards to such significant proposals in the plan with likely impact on local resident - The Challney Ward wish to put forward proposal objecting to the traffic plans as already submitted to the Council Page 4 of 29 - That the West Luton Area Board be called upon to support the proposals to object to the traffic plans put forward by the L&D Hospital. David Houghton Programme Director of the Redevelopment Team commenting on the issues raised by Councillor Shaw explained that the L&D were very clear about the traffic management plans to have access through Lime Avenue to Dunstable Road and that the plans were workable. Although he was not at the previous meeting of the Board where this discussion took place, during the consultation with residents the L&D spoke in detail about the traffic management plan including various options for access in the vicinity. He stated that the inclusion of Lime Avenue was an option to ease the traffic flow as the existing plans were not effective and definitely required an alternative. Also the L&D was currently looking at how to advocate effective parking and how to address them appropriately. LEAGRAVE – COUNCILLOR AKBAR Hockwell Ring ASBO an issue Rubbish dumps found on roads around the Leagrave area. Hockwell Ring moto bike nuisance LEWSEY – COUNCILLOR BURNETT Highways Parking ASBO Resolved: (i) That the Ward Forum updates and actions required be noted. (ii) That the proposal put forward by the Challney Ward, objecting to the Traffic Management Plans regarding access through Lime Avenue to Dunstable Road be supported by the West Luton Area Board due to the likely impact on the lives of local residents. (iii) That the objection to the Traffic Management Plan of the L&D Hospital Redevelopment Team be taken into account when considering the Application for Planning Permission in respect of the L&D Management Plan. (iv) That David Houghton Programme Director of the Redevelopment Team is requested to report back the outcome of any review of the Traffic Management Plan and prior to submission of a Planning Application to the Council. Page 5 of 29 29 PUBLIC QUESTION TIME (REF: 5) The following issues and concerns were brought to the attention of the police in regards: Proposed plans to curb and address anti-social behaviour and public nuisance regarding nuisance moto bike riding in the area; Possibility of a dedicated Police Team to tackle this issue especially as some other councils have a dedicated police task force to address such issues Responding to questions about anti-social behaviour and moto bikers’ nuisance, the police explained that any cause of action taken must be in line with Government Legislation and this is incredibly frustrating both for the police and for residents. There are a few nuisance bikers known by the police and who are now facing eviction. The police further explained that should offenders fall of their bikes and sustain injury during the cause of pursuit the police could be held responsible and become liable. Any evidence from members of the public and local residence is crucial to their operation. Furthermore, the Council could also be of help in regards to where the offenders live whether they lived in social housing, if so, it may be possible to have them evicted on the grounds of ASBO. The police further explained that the issue of lack of funding has been a challenge in their operation. There was suggestion that the PCC for Bedfordshire and Luton is requested to jointly attend the next meeting on 23rd February 2015 to advise the Committee in terms of funding to tackle this issue in West Luton. The police will continue to encourage local residents to work closely with the police and help provide evidence to address this matter. Resolved: (i) That Bedfordshire/Luton Police be requested to jointly attend the next meeting of West Luton Area Board meeting on 23rd February 2016 to give clarity on the issue of funding for a dedicated Police moto bike team to help address the issue of nuisance caused by bikers in West Luton. (ii) That the Area Board’s thanks to the Police be recorded. Page 6 of 29 30 PETITION – (REF: 6) None this time 31 YOU SAID, WE’RE DOING: NEIGHBOURHOOD GOVERNANCE PROGRESS REPORT (YSWD NGP) (REFS: 7 & 9) Members received progress on the “YSWD Neighbourhood Governance report which was jointly delivered by the Neighbourhood Governance Manager Marek Lubelski and Representatives of the Luton Clinical Commissioning Group (LCCG) focusing on the health and wellbeing part of the report.

  • Luton Motor Town
    Contents Luton: Motor Town Luton: Motor Town 1910 - 2000 The resources in this pack focus on the major changes in the town during the 20th century. For the majority of the period Luton was a prosperous, optimistic town that encouraged forward-looking local planning and policy. The Straw Hat Boom Town, seeing problems ahead in its dependence on a single industry, worked hard to attract and develop new industries. In doing so it fuelled a growth that changed the town forever. However Luton became almost as dependant on the motor industry as it had been on the hat industry. The aim of this pack is to provide a core of resources that will help pupils studying local history at KS2 and 3 form a picture of Luton at this time. The primary evidence included in this pack may photocopied for educational use. If you wish to reproduce any part of this park for any other purpose then you should first contact Luton Museum Service for permission. Please remember these sheets are for educational use only. Normal copyright protection applies. Contents 1: Teachers’ Notes Suggestions for using these resources Bibliography 2: The Town and its buildings 20th Century Descriptions A collection of references to the town from a variety of sources. They illustrate how the town has been viewed by others during this period. Luton Council on Luton The following are quotes from the Year Book and Official Guides produced by Luton Council over the years. They offer an idea of how the Luton Council saw the town it was running.
