II.1.4) Short description
Luton’s greenspaces contribute to delivering the councils 2040 vision for the town. It is acknowledged that well-maintained parks attract people, business and investment to the town. They are socially inclusive spaces providing free access to opportunities for recreation, mental relaxation and just maintaining health and well-being through being in the great outdoors. The town’s greenspaces also contribute to the climate change agenda providing eco-system services to benefit the community. These range from large expanses of grassland that accommodate surface water run-off to trees and shrubs that capture carbon and remove pollutants from the air that we breathe. Service Plan priorities for the Parks and Countryside Service include priorities relating to increasing tree cover, increasing biodiversity through improvements to Chalk Grassland and habitats alongside improvements to District and Neighbourhood parks and other areas of greenspace to meet the needs of the community. The aim is to prove how with investment a more modernised sustainable approach to grounds maintenance will benefit Luton Council in improving service efficiency whilst reducing carbon emissions.
