Civic Agreement

To do this, we promote a strong and empowered community based on fairness, accessibility and inclusion by:

PRIORITY 4

• Working creatively and collaboratively to unlock new experiences of ‘pride in place’ by drawing on recent collaborative work in building a thriving arts, heritage and culture portfolio for Luton, the Council and University. We will undertake place-making, partnership, outreach and enabling activities to promote positive perceptions of the town centre.

Supporting a strong and empowered community built on fairness, local pride and a powerful voice for all of our residents.

• Building on the pioneering work of Luton’s Fairness Taskforce to identify and overcome structural barriers to equality, diversity and inclusion, with the University’s research responding to and supporting the priorities of the Taskforce to understand ‘what works’ and engage with the citizen’s panel to give all parts of our community a powerful voice.

• Catalysing community power through partnerships with community groups, we will strengthen and enable the governance and impact of third sector groups to support all communities who have a stake within the area to act towards positive social, economic and environmental goals.
