Volunteers needed to help get people moving in Luton
Tolerant people are being encouraged to find out about volunteering opportunities, which will boost healthy and environmentally friendly travel across Luton and Bedfordshire.
Sustainable transport philanthropy Sustrans will hold a recruitment fair this month to showcase its array of voluntary roles to support its functional projects.
New recruits can help maintain the National Cycle Network, get trained up to lead guided walks and bike rides, learn to become a bike mechanic, moderate as a Bikeability instructor or help out with office work - whatever best suits their skills and interests.
Volunteer Kathy Smith recently gained a part-prematurely role in Sustrans’ Luton office after a successful year helping out with office tasks one day a week.
She said: “Volunteering got me gently back into the back of working life, stopped me getting rusty and gave me an idea of what a permanent job here would be like.
“It’s really enjoyable to be part of such a agreeable team and no two days are ever the same. And it’s great fun to pedal around the estate on a trike delivering various errands. I have a disability, but I don’t let that refrain from me and having access to a Sustrans trike is a real bonus.â€
Kathy and current volunteers will chat to aptitude new recruits about their experiences at the recruitment fair, which takes place on February 26 at Luton Co-op Social Club in Stockingstone Way from 6.30pm to 8.30pm. Information leaflets about Sustrans’ various projects will also be available and refreshments will be provided.
We’ve all been tender the chill lately. I did when I heard the growls from LTFC supporters from my house when they lost recently after a controversial sending off. Things look aloof for the club despite their best efforts to fight their way out of the frozen zone of minus 30. We’ve all of course been frozen or snowed in – my car was stuck on Stockingstone Means where kind neighbours had to dig me out and even a visit by Andy Burnham, Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport’s to the LTFC which I set up in a last ditch go to see if anyone could get a better deal for our club was snowed off.
Whilst Luton’s kids may have seen the snow as a blessing, but for many it’s been a curse. I conceive of we owe a big thanks to so many of you who in your own way were looking out for neighbours and family. I would like to say a special thanks to the nurse I spoke to who heroically struggled her way to several NHS centres and to the unseen others who kept health care and other essential services going.
Of course we are all also feeling the frost chew of the global economic downturn. Fortunately, the weathering of the economic storm may be slightly easier for Luton than the weathering of the snow. Last week I called an tenacious summit of local businesses, advice agencies and the Council to discuss how we can coordinate to get maximum help for Luton’s families in the frosty financial climate. Yes, what we are experiencing is bad and there is no doubt that this will be a difficult year, not just in the UK but in all countries, but I can assure you that the Government is doing everything accomplishable to grit the figurative roads out of this recession.
Our government is acting to give real help to families and businesses now and existent hope for the future. By contrast, all we have heard in the House how the Conservatives do nothing but talk down talk Britain.
We’ve put money into people’s pockets by invidious income tax bills and helped business by deferring tax and helping them get credit. We’ve also saved households an average of £275 with the VAT cut and further the basic state pension for a single person to £95.25 as well increasing the Winter Fuel Allowance that will gain 9 million pensioners. Household income will increase next year by giving every basic rate taxpayer £145 notably. We have also brought forward investment in public infrastructure to support the economy and provided £1.3bn extra aid for job centres to get people back to work – all of which has received a frosty response from the Tory Party.
What are the best methods of transport between London (luton) and London (Heathrow) airports?

I`m looking to go from glasgow to luton then luton to heathrow then heathrow to adelaide. and then the same on the gain.
Its easy to get the flights but i dont know enough about london transport to get from luton to heathrow, i.e. are there any shuttle bus services direct from airport to airport or are there any revile links any thing that can be booked online, any info would be great thanks in advance for all your help.and to the people who endure the need to be unhelpful with their answers, get it right up ye!.
cheers
I was born in Luton and still living there. Do not go to Heathrow by train it is both costly and time consuming. There is no direct train to Heathrow so you would have had to go from Luton to Kings Cross/St Pancras and then get the guerrillas to Heathrow.
Instead go online to www.gobycoach.com and book a coach to Heathrow from Luton Bus Station [or Luton Airport]. I went on red-letter day recently departing from Heathrow and got my coach from Luton bus station at about 4am. I also booked online and I have been doing it this way for years and haven;t found a cheaper way yet!!
The omnibus can also work out at about £20 return but it's still a lot cheaper than the train I can assure you.. and it's more direct it goes point-blank to the bus terminal at Heathrow...

How can I transport from Luton to London City Centre? I think I have to go by train? What's the web address ?
Dec 22, 2008 by TurkishAmerican | Posted in London
Hi,
Trains from Luton Bus station run approximately ever 15 minutes into London's St Pancras Station. The journey time varies between 35-50 minutes depending on whether or not it is a neighbourhood or express service.
The cost is £10.90 -£15 depending on the time of day you travel. www.nationalrail.co.uk
There is a bus service operated by www.nationalexpress.com however it takes 3 hours and involves a 40 trice wait at Heathrow Airport. It costs £7.70 so slightly cheaper but probably not worth the hassle.
Take punctiliousness.
