Ashcroft Play Park is open! 🛝
Thanks to hard work from local residents, we've secured a much-needed facelift to Ashcroft Park in Stopsley.
A child said it was “the best play park” she’s been to. I think the double zip lines, the accessible trampoline and monkey bars were absolute hits!

A brilliant Labour announcement!
We know the difference money for decent playgrounds could make. It’s good for children, families and neighbourhoods.
From Stopsley to Lewsey and all the parks in between, there are playgrounds across Luton that need this funding.

Lovely Stopsley Community Garden.
They’ve opened up the centre due to the weather but the mood is sunny inside and out!
There are plenty of activities for big and small children. The knit and natter group are raising funds for Keech Hospice.
Thanks to all the fab volunteers who put today on. 🌻
