We know that poverty and inequality cuts across outcomes for our residents in education, health and employment, which is why creating a town free of poverty is at the heart of our vision. We also know that poverty is a complex problem with no one simple solution. So while at the heart of tackling poverty is our ambition for Luton to be a town built on fairness, a place that gives equitable opportunities to all, our vision also highlights the importance of inclusive economic growth, environmental sustainability, becoming a child friendly town, and our population wellbeing strategy.
