Cllr Sam Craven & Tristan Osborne with Don Philips at the memorial
Cllr Sam Craven and Cllr Tristan Osborne met Don Philips today, who with a few other veterens and residents, has maintained the memorial meadow and defended the land from encroachment from developers.
We spent some time together this morning discussing the history of the site, its landscape and the families who fell in the war from the Luton area.
We gave our full committment to Don that we would fight any encroachment on the land, which is worrying at present given the potential for government to water down planning restrictions.
Over the three decades there have been a number of kind donations from local Lordswood and Luton councillors, the press and from the previous and current MP.
We will help Don to support and maintain this piece of Luton heritage and will happily partner up with others in the community to ensure this legacy is left for future generations.
