🌿 Big thanks to @EdibleHighTown and volunteers for becoming 'Friends of Hat Gardens' today.
Taking their project on the road for the first time, they gave the new pocket park extra love with weeding and plant TLC.
Thanks to all who took part! 🙌 – at Luton, England

A company aiming to build at least 246 homes in High Town has cleared a potential hurdle to development.
Dandara Living became one of the last firms to sign a legal agreement that commits them to paying for fire safety remediation on previously completed projects.

One of three remaining developers signs building safety remediation contract #ukhousing dlvr.it/SrG6PS
The government has been threatening to restrict developers' ability to build new homes if they fail to sign up.
Dandara has cleared a site behind 10 Midland Road, and bounded by High Town Road and Burr Street, with planning permission for 264 homes: dandaraliving.com/developmen…
2/3
The build-to-rent developer has applied to build an extra 82 units.
That would take the number of homes, most of them apartments, to 346.

Its initial successful application was for 227 homes: planning.luton.gov.uk/online…
