The Council is correct in stating that Century Park has had planning permission for over 20 years but that is in the field next door to the park. Instead of creating 3,200 jobs that field has been identified as a site for a long term car park. So much for council job creation. Building a terminal and new aprons will just create low paid work rather than higher paid work a business park would create. Just need to look at the terminal vacancies to see that. Fancy starting work at 4 in the morning or starting a shift that finishes in the early hours or working 24/7 rosters? No, well neither no many other people which is why there are always vacancies.

Seriously you think that jobs on a business park pay better than an Airport these days!!.
Not sure if you live/ work around the Airport but I for one , who was born and raised in Luton am glad that the council are trying to invest heavily in its assets.Its about time, Luton has never been the most appealing place with too much negativity.
its a case of damned if they do, damned if they don’t for the council.
