LU4 includes the towns hospital but maybe this is a bit more disturbing
https://www.itv.com/news/anglia/2020...rning-in-luton
Cases are up and down like a yo-yo but with hotspots now developing in Spanish tourist areas and in some Eastern European countries I am not aware of any temperature checks for inbound passengers.

In Luton, the weekly number of new cases reported has doubled in the past fortnight promoting the town's Director of Health to issue specific "stay at home" advice.

The council has balanced its budget but doesn’t mention that the only part of council spending to rise is the £60m bailout for the airport.

here comes the casual racism again that pops up on this thread from time to time.
where is your proof that the hotspots in Luton are the Asian community ??
My wife is a nurse at the local hospital and they cannot see a clear pattern to the people who enter icu apart from mostly older and more likely to have lower immune systems for whatever reason, the five hotspot areas in Luton are not all linked to the areas where people from our Asian community traditionally live.
next you will be telling us that you are quite happy to get in a taxi with a white Anglo Saxon driver.
I realise this is a rumour network but don’t let the Lack of any facts get in the way of some casual racism.

The taxi drivers are self employed so I wonder how many would actually stop work if tested positive when there were no airport taxis for 3 months.

Just for clarity, the Luton areas are Kingsway, Warden Hill, Challney, Lewsey South and Bedford areas, Elstow, Shortstown & Wixams.
A big mix of demographics & ethnic groupings.
On a seperate note EZY shedules continue to expand over the coming weeks but nothing like needing the based 25 frames.
WZZ have 5 new routes starting to Spain & Greece in 2nd week of August

Those areas affected, which seems to focus on parts of Luton, are not helped by those living in rented sheds at the bottom of gardens, which is common practice in parts of the town. Luton is a deprived town with low wages, part time and zero hour contracts, which is something the airport and the airlines encourage with contracts awarded to the lowest bidder.

Luton Borough Council has launched a new scheme to crack down on rogue landlords that rent out poorly managed or dangerous properties.
The Rogue Landlord Project was created alongside the Bedfordshire Fire & Rescue Service, the Luton Law Centre and the Luton Citizens Advice Bureau.
The council insists that rogue landlords will not be tolerated and offenders will be caught.
The scheme particularly focuses on:
Councillor Tom Shaw, Portfolio Holder for Housing at Luton Borough Council, says: “The Rogue Landlord Project is an integral part of ensuring that private housing in Luton is of a good standard. It is an important part of our enforcement policy and will help ensure that properties in Luton are safe and maintained to a good standard. If a HMO is poorly managed, tenants’ safety could be at risk.

The scheme particularly focuses on:
- Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs)
- Beds in sheds – substandard properties that are being used as homes without relevant permission.

Could we please get back to matters regarding the airport ie routes, airlines etc and not have a discussion on who might be living in a garden shed at the bottom of a garden, that is for another place - The Daily Fail, Torygraph or the British Medical Journal. Thank you.

The road upgrade is part of the planning permission for 18m passengers. Only the first 200m is being completed as the council has no money to build the rest. To do the upgrade hundreds of mature trees would have to be cut down which has upset the locals.
