๐Ÿทโœจ October is Purple Flag Month! โœจ๐Ÿท

This month we're celebrating the fantastic venues that help make Luton a safe, welcoming and enjoyable place for a night out, and today we're shining a spotlight on Metro Bar & Kitchen .

Located within the University of Bedfordshire campus, Metro offers something for everyone. During the day, the Metro Kitchen is the perfect place to relax with a Starbucks coffee, grab a snack, enjoy a freshly prepared meal, or catch up with friends in a comfortable and welcoming setting.

When the sun goes down, Metro Bar comes alive with a packed programme of events throughout the year. From cultural celebrations and society gatherings to games nights, crafts, wellbeing activities and themed parties, there's always something happening. It's a vibrant, inclusive space where people can connect, unwind and enjoy a great evening in Luton.

๐Ÿ’œ As part of Purple Flag Month, we're recognising venues like Metro Bar that contribute to a diverse, safe and enjoyable nightlife experience for residents, students and visitors alike.

๐Ÿšง Emergency Water Works Now Underway: Key Information for Businesses ๐Ÿšง

Emergency water works on Chapel Street and part of Stuart Street are now underway and are expected to continue for up to six weeks. We recently met with the Affinity Water project team to discuss the programme, the measures being put in place to support businesses, and how disruption will be managed throughout the works.

The project team has confirmed that Castle Street will not be closed at the same time as these works, helping to minimise disruption across the town centre.

Businesses in the affected area should be aware that while access will be maintained where possible, deliveries may be impacted for up to six weeks. Affinity Water has already distributed letters and information leaflets to affected businesses and will continue to provide regular communications and updates throughout the project.

Importantly, businesses remain open and trading as usual during the works. Clear diversion routes and directional signage have been installed, together with notices highlighting that local businesses continue to welcome customers. These measures are designed to help visitors navigate the area and maintain confidence in accessing the town centre.

To support businesses and members of the public throughout the project, Elaine, Affinity Water's dedicated Community Liaison Officer, will be available in the on-site welfare office every other day to answer questions and provide assistance.

Access arrangements remain in place for Wesley House, and a dedicated ambulance access route has been established. Other than these provisions, the affected section of the road will remain closed for the duration of the works.

During our meeting, we also raised concerns regarding vehicles entering the closure area and then struggling to turn around, which has resulted in some unsafe manoeuvres. We have suggested a minor adjustment to the positioning of the closure point to help reduce confusion and improve safety for both pedestrians and motorists.

We will continue to liaise closely with Affinity Water and will keep businesses informed of any significant developments as the works progress. In the meantime, we encourage everyone to continue supporting town centre businesses, which remain open and ready to welcome customers.
