About The Lutonian

The Lutonian is a 21st century independent news desk for a modern, forward-thinking Luton.

We are here to report on the news, sport and culture that matters to you, with journalism by Lutonians for Lutonians.

Our town is changing for the better, so it’s time to start shouting about it while also celebrating more of the things, places and people that bring us together and make life worth living.

You don’t need to have been born here, you don’t need to live here, but if you carry Luton and, more importantly, its people in your heart, then you are a Lutonian and you are in the right place. Welcome.
