Happy first birthday to Luton in Harmony

In contrast to the divisive nature of the planned EDL rally, this month marks the first birthday of Luton in Harmony.

This campaign was launched at beginning of last year to celebrate all that is positive about the diverse and vibrant community of Luton. Those running it have been very active, it seems to have developed a high profile within the town, and so has had a successful first year.

I signed up to the Luton in Harmony pledge early on, joining over 13,000 other people who have done so, and I have been wearing my badge with pride ever since.

On Saturday 29th of January birthday celebrations will be taking place in the town centre. Carnival style entertainment will be being provided on Market Hill outside Debenhams from 12.30 pm.
