Social distancing measures will be in place throughout and individuals will be given COVID-19 protective equipment.
Fergus McLardy, Luton BID project manager says the aim of Luton BID’s Tidy Days is to help make a visible difference to the cleanliness of the town centre.

“They really do bring town centre workers together, with a collective aim and responsibility to improve the local area. BID businesses have already been telling us how delighted they are that we can get them back up and running.
"We are now urging as many shops, venues and workers to volunteer as much time as they can on the day – either for the duration or just an hour or so.”
