Current priorities
Fly tipping.
A proactive day of action was carried out with partner agencies to tackle fly‑tipping in Luton. Officers identified a frequent problem location through community engagement. The site was visited and cleared, and details of a potential offender were passed to the local authority for enforcement action.

Road safety.
Following concerns about untaxed vehicles, officers worked with the DVLA and the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA). During this activity, a number of vehicles were seized for having no tax.
