This week we had two tasks on offer again as we continue to make the most of the good summer weather.
The walking group headed off to meet new task owner Rajab from the Safer Luton Partnership, supported by Kevin from ABCD luton who provided tools. The task was to clean up the communal garden at a sheltered housing block so that the residents can regain control and start looking after the place themselves and enjoy growing nice plants instead of weeds.
Meanwhile a combined running and biking team headed out to the distant Bradley Road allotment where previous clear ups have brought this allotment back into a tidy state nearly ready for new allotment tenants. Our task this time was to clean up the entrance area and the access road of the litter and fly-tipped bundles of tree branches to make the approach more attractive. bollards will be installed on the track to prevent.
When both tasks were complete each team headed back into town under the glow of a sunset rainbow 🌈 to complete the evening.
The Safer Luton Partnership has been in existence in since 1990. It has a multi-agency steering committee which includes representatives from Luton Borough Council, Bedfordshire Police (Luton Division), local businesses and community representatives. The organisation has international recognition and works on several projects with specific target groups towards the ongoing goal of developing safer neighbourhoods, improving the quality of life and reducing the level of crime for those who live, work or visit Luton.
