A new shop selling work by local artists, vintage clothing, jewellery and new music has opened its doors in High Town.

Shop 33, in High Town Road, is the latest chapter of the legacy of the former 33 Arts Centre in Guildford Street, which closed down in 2003.

The idea of the shop came about at the end of last year when Luton Community Arts Trust, which ran the centre, found it needed more storage space for its trading arm, 33 Jazz Records.

“We thought we could sell stuff as well, and give local artists somewhere to display their work,” said shop manager Chris Stevens, a former Icknield student who went on to study photography and filmmaking at the University of Bedfordshire.

Local artists whose work is on sale include Helen Ingham, Francis Martin and John Goode, and literature including Luton Haiku books, guides to High Town and the satirical Clod Magazine are also on sale.

Chris, who also plays in Luton band Flexy Boys, said: “We’re really hoping people get on board and that some other new shops open up. High Town’s a great place.

“We’re also trying to organise a music festival in July with local bands, such as Giant Haystacks and the Knockouts.”

The trust also runs the SNAP project at the Hat Factory, where young people can drop in and take part in art projects.

Workers at Luton’s George Street West tax office took part in a week long rolling series of strikes this week.

The action is part of the PCS union national campaign for jobs, pay and pensions

Several people were on the picket line early on Friday morning.

The official confirmation of Bedfordshire’s new Chief Constable took place on Tuesday (June 4).

Colette Paul, currently deputy chief constable of South Wales Police, was unanimously recommended by The Bedfordshire Police and Crime Panel.

Beds Police and Crime Commissioner Olly Martins said Ms Paul would make “an excellent Chief Constable”.

Ms Paul said: “I am proud and privileged to be appointed the Chief Constable of Bedfordshire and thank the Police and Crime Panel for their endorsement. I very much look forward to working with the Commissioner and the Senior Officer Team to deliver our shared vision for policing. I can’t wait to start and look forward to meeting with our partners to work together to deliver the very best for the people of Bedfordshire.”

Mr Martins said Ms Paul will “bring a new perspective” to tackling crime in Bedfordshire.

He said: “I am sure that Colette Paul is the right person to grasp the challenges that we face in tackling crime, and that she will build on the strong legacy of improved performance that the departing Chief Constable Alf Hitchcock leaves. She will be leading a very able force that repeatedly proves its ability to punch above its weight.”

Strengths that Ms Paul will bring to the force include her commitment to building confidence in all communities.

Chair of the panel, Councillor Fiona Chapman MBE, said: “The Panel had no hesitation in recommending that Ms Paul’s appointment be confirmed. The Panel had every confidence that her experience and skills would enable her to lead the Bedfordshire force effectively. She also has the personal skills which will allow her to work well with all communities in Bedfordshire, to build their confidence in the force.”

Let’s be honest, when the version of Superman which most of us have hot-wired into our cinematic memory banks first hit the screen, we didn’t believe a man could fly despite what the tagline claimed.

It was always difficult to accept Christopher Reeve speeding through the sky like a bird, like a plane when the only thing that moved was his artificially-fluttering cape. The fact that you could see the wires didn’t help, either.

But 21st trickery is to the fore to make things much more convincing as we finally get to see Man Of Steel, which seems to have taken an age in arriving.

Director Zack Snyder has been indulged with a giant budget, a starry cast and whole box of special effects tricks as he sets out to tell a very familiar story once again.

Wearing his pants outside his trousers this time round is hunky Henry Cavill and you’ll also see the likes of Amy Adams, Russell Crowe and Kevin Costner in the cast list.

The problem is that the set-up is so familiar – not just from the earlier movies, but also from the original comics and TV takes on the Krypton kid – that despite the gloss there’s nothing new to say.

And while we are only too familiar with squeaky clean Clark Kent and his superpowered alter ego, rival blockbusters featuring characters which have not been as exposed – Iron Man if you will, Spiderman too and even the darker, deeper Batman of recent years – have stolen a march and created a very crowded field.

It’s a handsome piece of work, but don’t go expecting anything startling. You’ll believe it cost a fortune, because it’s up there on the screen – whether you’ll believe it was worth it remains to be seen.

With so much hype and hoopla surrounding Man Of Steel, other choices are thin on the ground but there is Admission, a romantic comedy starring Tina Fey and Paul Rudd.

The complicated set-up features Fey as a career woman in higher education on a road trip and Rudd as a former college classmate who is now a teacher at a school in the backwoods. He believes his star pupil could be the child Fey gave up for adoption back when she was a student determined not to let a little thing like a pregnancy interfere with her ambition. Could it be true? And if so, what should she do about it?

Also ticking the date movie box for those who want to steer clear of overblown blockbusters is Stuck In Love, with Greg Kinnear and Jennifer Connelly leading the cast. They’re a former couple, he can’t get over it, their prodigy daughter reckons she’s never going to get involved with a bloke after seeing what a mess mum and dad made of things. Guess what – they all learn to love and lead better lives. Aaah.

It’s the little things that can be relied on to reach out, grab hold of the sensitive parts of my individual goat and squeeze hard, I always find.

But when one thing that gets my goat is replaced by another thing that gets my goat, there’s no way of getting around it – that really gets my goat. It gets my goat to such a degree that I feel myself turning into a grumpy troll living under a bridge, waiting for goats to trip trap overhead so that I can vent my entirely justified irritation at their cloven-hoofed clatter.

So let’s talk about advice slips, those little slips of paper spewed out by cash machines to tell you how much of your money you’ve just been reunited with and how much you’ve got left.

Back in the early days of ATMs, you got an advice slip whether you wanted one or not, and more often than not people left them at the scene, causing a real litter problem and making the banks look bad. Imagine, banks looking bad, who’d have thought?

So they installed little litter bins alongside the machines for discarded debris, but they didn’t work.

Then they got cuter with the technology, and you were able to specify whether you wanted a slip or not as you worked your way through the ‘please give me some money’ process.

But that didn’t work either – even though many people deliberately asked for a slip, they still left it at the scene.

Now that was irritating, even if it was a source of guilty please. Come on, who hasn’t sneaked a look at someone else’s advice slip, scanned their anonymous financial details and conjured up scenarios about what they were going to do with the cash? Just me? I suppose you’ll be telling me next that you don’t make up manic Come Dine With Me menus from the ingredients in the trolley of the person ahead of you in the supermarket queue?

But I digress. The latest wheeze from the banking boys and girls to avoid the confetti of abandoned bits of paper on the pavement below an ATM is the retractable receipt.

It’s only operating on one machine near me, but it’s the one I use most often – just not often enough to work it out yet.

And what happens is that while I am doing sensible things like retrieving my card and stowing it away safely and picking up the cash and quickly counting it, the receipt pops out – and if it’s not grabbed immediately, it gets gobbled back up by the ATM to keep the streets nice and tidy. I haven’t got the receipt I wanted, and there’s no second chance.

Because it’s only a little thing, I haven’t yet learned to modify my ATM behaviour to give me the time I need, or even avoid that machine.

But please believe me, every time it happens it is really, really irritating.

Luton great grandmother Margaret Holyland isn’t your average senior citizen.

Instead of enjoying a nanny nap, doing the crossword or perhaps indulging in some gentle gardening, this septuagenarian sizzler has been advising sex guru Ann Summers about what older women really want.

Margaret, of Crawley Green Road, was chosen as one of eight panellists on ‘The O Team’ after a nation-wide search.

And tomorrow (June 13) she will feature on Channel 4’s Sex Toy Story, discussing the innovative range the all-women group helped design and develop for the chain.

She said: “I joined by default really. I went to the audition to keep my daughter company and I was selected.”

Her suggestions have already been incorporated in the new range – see-through packaging so products don’t have to be removed from the box and easier on/off switches for elderly customers with arthritis, rheumatism or stiff joints.

Margaret said: “Another of my ideas was a body stocking to give an all-over thrilling sensation but that was condensed to ‘fillets’ which go into your bra and do the same job.”

The panel met several times over a 12 month period and visited the Erotic Trade Show in Birmingham as part of their research.

Margaret said: “It wasn’t as sordid as it sounds. But someone tried to headhunt me to organise swingers’ parties – I told him I wasn’t that kind of girl.”

Her introduction to sex toys came 10 years ago when she was given a Rampant Rabbit as a joke. “Now I’ve realised they really do help – they’ve certainly spiced up my life,” she smiled.

The mum-of-four has yet to see how everyone will react to her new interest but admitted: “I’m sure I’ll get some strange looks from the neighbours and the girls in my Zumba class.

“But I got the OK from my husband and that’s what really matters.”

A man wanted in connection with the murder of a 20-year-old is shown clearly in CCTV footage released by detectives today (June 11).

Jordan MaGuire was stabbed to death in his Thrales Close home on May 26 at about 8.15pm.

This footage shows a man buying items at the Nisa shop in Marsh Farm about three hours before the murder.

He is the same man captured on CCTV walking his bike by the Purley Centre on the way to Jordan’s home.

Det Insp John Arthur of the Beds, Cambs and Herts Major Crime Unit said: “Someone must know who this man is. He’s clearly been around on the estate for at least three hours on the afternoon of bank holiday Sunday. The pictures of him in the local shop are very clear and I’m confident that someone will be able to identify him.

“I believe this male may live locally or have very local connections. We do need to speak with him so if you know him, please do not approach him but contact the police. If this individual sees this appeal, I would urge him to contact us directly so we can arrange to speak to him.”

You may recall how I got wind of the fact that the turbines installed on the new-ish car park at Luton railway station weren’t working, writes Steve Sims.

They’re supposed to be providing 10 per cent of the car park’s energy needs but for months they haven’t budged.

The last I heard from First Capital Connect was that they were investigating, but that was months ago.

The other week I spotted one was finally moving, and yesterday, blow me down, a second was rotating (perhaps they didn’t have enough grease to get the final one going).

And right on cue, I received an update from First Capital Connect’s PR chap, who explained by email: “You may have noticed that two of the turbines at Luton are working again after the maintenance contractors were able to repair them. A third is still out of action waiting for parts.”

Students at Luton Sixth Form College have no excuse for missing their bus home any more after the installation of an electronic display board.

The screen, which is located on the wall outside the main entrance at the Bradgers Hill Road college, is the first to be installed at a school or college in the area.

It gives real time information about the 24 and 25 bus routes, which serve nearby Old Bedford Road.

A GPS monitor tracks where the vehicles are on the road – and informs users when they are due to arrive at the bus stops.

Linsey Frostick, regional marketing manager for bus operator Arriva, said: “The display gives you the actual arrival time, rather than the timetabled one. GPS monitors where the buses are, so if a bus is running 10 minutes late, it will show the arrival time at the stop.

“Students can then wait in the warmth and shelter of the college before heading out to the bus stop.”

The display has been provided by Luton Borough Council, and is the result of a long-running campaign by the college’s Student Council.

Student development advisor Butch Fazal said: “We’ve had complaints for a number of years about the efficiency of the bus service, and this year the Student Council pledged to look at the issue.

“We did a survey of 150 students who actually took the bus. An overwhelming majority said the most annoying thing was the punctuality – you could be waiting for five minutes, you could be waiting for half-an-hour.

“We took the results forward to senior management and they were really receptive to what we were saying. In collaboration with senior management and through the work of Altaf Hussain [vice principal], we contacted Arriva and it went from there.”

Mr Fazal said: “The over-riding thing, for me, is how effective partnership working can be if it’s done properly. This has been a partnership between students and senior management here, and Luton Borough Council and Arriva. I believe the display is going to be invaluable to students.”

A 19-year-old man was arrested after a sawn-off shotgun and ammunition were recovered at a house in the Runfold area of Luton this morning (June 11).

Armed officers made the discovery during dawn raids, and it’s believed the weapon had been stolen from its legitimate owner during a house burglary in Hertfordshire two years ago.

The man was arrested from the house on suspicion of being in possession of a section one firearm and ammunition and is currently in Luton police station for questioning.

Det Insp Sandra Evans, who is heading one of the teams assigned to Operation Boson, said: “This is an excellent result which shows exactly what can be done when the public work with the police to combat serious crime.”

“We were able to react quickly from public-lead information and prevent this weapon being used on the streets. It will now be forensically examined to establish if it has been used in previous serious crime.

“I hope that this encourages people to come forward and use our confidential reporting line. We have had some good results recently with arrests for weapons and drugs offences. Despite this good result, I urge people to continue to work with us in this way. ”

Information can be left for Operation Boson detectives on their direct confidential reporting line 01582 394281, or use the 24 hour non-emergency number 101; text force control direct on 07786 200011 or contact independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.

A child burglar attacked a householder with a screwdriver during a burglary in Wigmore Lane, Luton on Monday.

The incident happened at 6.40am when the offender, who was about 12 years old, entered the house through an unlocked patio door and stole a purse from the living room.

The victim, who was in the kitchen, heard a noise and walked into the living room where the offender lashed out with the screwdriver, causing a scratch to the victim’s arm.

He then fled through the patio doors and out of the back garden.

The offender is described as a white male, about 12 years old, five feet three inches tall, of slim build and wearing a royal blue coloured hooded top.

A 16-year-old boy was threatened with a knife during an attempted robbery in Rotherham Avenue, Luton.

The incident happened as the victim was walking near the junction of Farley Farm Road on June 5 at around 4pm.

He was approached by three men who demanded he empty his pockets, and when he refused, one of the offenders produced a knife and threatened him.

The other offender then searched the victim but found nothing of value and the three men made off towards Tinsley.

All three offenders were black males aged 19 or 20 years old.

The one who was armed with the knife was around 6ft 2, of stocky build, wearing a black hooded top, light blue jeans, trainers and carrying a black side bag.

The other two were both around 5ft 8 and of average build.

As part of the far-reaching welfare reforms by Central Government, Disability Living Allowance (DLA) is being replaced by a new benefit called Personal Independence Payment (PIP).

The process kicks off this month and is expected to roll out over the next three years.

And Luton Borough Council is contacting all local residents affected by the national changes.

PIP affects 16-64 year olds. It does not affect children until they reach 16, or anyone who was aged 65 or older by 8 April this year receiving Disability Attendance Allowance or Attendance Allowance.

To receive PIP you need a new medical assessment, carried out on behalf of the Department for Work and Pension, covering daily living activities such as:

> preparing food

> taking nutrition

> managing therapy or monitoring a health condition

> washing and bathing

> managing toilet needs or incontinence

> dressing and undressing

> communicating verbally

> reading and understanding signs, symbols and words

> engaging with other people face to face

> making budgeting decisions and mobility activities such as planning and following journeys and moving around.

Cllr Mahmood Hussain, portfolio holder for adult social care, said: “Central Government’s reform of the benefits system, which aims to make work pay and simplify the way welfare is delivered, is wide-ranging.

“The latest changes mean that around 20 per cent of current Disability Living Allowance claimants will probably lose some or all of their entitlement including blue badges, council tax discounts and access to certain grants, as well as some carers losing Carer’s Allowance.”

For more information please see www.dwp.gov.uk or www.luton.gov.uk/benefitchanges (which also features a link to a self-help test on the Benefits and Work website to see how you might score under the PIP activity tests) or speak to a benefit change advisor on 0300 790 0345 or visit a benefit change advisor at the Town Hall on Tuesdays or Thursdays.

Wigmore councillor Diane Moles is urging residents to protest in writing about the planned Bloor Homes Wandon Park development to the east of Luton.

She said: “I was at the exhibition at Cockernhoe Memorial Hall and the general attitude is ‘No, we don’t want it – our green belt is sacrosanct.’

“The development will mean at least 2,000 more cars in the area and Bloor Homes have made no provision for essential services such as police, fire and ambulance or infrastructure like roads.”

A commemorative stone to honour Ron Upton – one of Keech Hospice Care’s most loyal supporters – is to be placed in the charity’s Walk of Life path.

The Barton-based publisher, who died recently after a long illness, was one of its first trustees.

Hospice founder Dr ‘Wink’ White said: “Ron was a great stalwart, a very hard worker.

“He was a big man, very honest and outgoing. He put all his time and personality into the project when he joined the appeal committee in 1986.

“He had lots of contacts and introduced us to our main benefactor Betty Robinson, who gave us the land on which the hospice is built. He also organised comedian Bob Monkhouse to turn the first sod.”
He added: “He came from a newsagent family in Barton and was devoted to his mother Barbara.

“I will miss his friendship and loyalty.”

Keech chief executive Mike Keel said: “The original dream of a hospice would have stayed just that had it not been for the initial team, their devotion and real passion to make it work.

“Ron was a key player and major influence and will be sadly missed by all of us at the hospice.”

In addition he was a reader and dedicated member of the congregation at St Margaret’s Church in Streatley.

His cousin Jacquie Molloy said there was a ‘phenomenal’ turnout at his funeral.

“The Bishop of Hertford was there and it was a beautiful service.

“Everyone who ever met Ron went away with a memory – that really sums him up.”

> His family has asked for all donation’s in Ron’s memory to be made to the hospice.

Premature deaths in Luton are more common than in any of the surrounding areas, according to data published by Longer Lives on Tuesday (June 11).

Luton was ranked 108th out of 150 local authorities in England, with a total of 1,602 premature deaths (people under the age of 75) in 2009-2011.

The data was mapped by Longer Lives online using a traffic light system, ranging from red for the worst areas to green for the best.

Luton is the only red area in the region, flanked by Herts, Central Beds and Buckinghamshire which are all green.

Local authorities were put in charge of public health and spending in April this year.

Gerry Taylor, director of public health for Luton, said: “We know poverty and deprivation is an issue in parts of Luton which has a significant knock-on effect on people’s health and wellbeing. Public health becoming part of the local authority is giving us a better opportunity to focus on a whole range of issues affecting health including education, employment and the physical environment, as well as supporting people to make healthy lifestyle decisions and live longer lives.”

Early deaths tend to be caused by major killers such as heart disease, stroke and cancer. Luton has a high rate of heart disease deaths in the country, ranked 118th out of 149, but has the second lowest rate for liver disease deaths compared to similar local authorities.

A Luton Borough Council spokesman said: “Although the mortality rates from heart disease and stroke has decreased by 37 per cent over the last 10 years, it remains higher than the national average. Our key priorities are finding ways to help local people to live longer and healthier lives and reduce such inequalities. Luton’s health and wellbeing strategy include a health checks programme, healthy weight programme, health champion programmes and Tobacco Free Luton.”

The place you’re most likely to end up in an early grave is in Manchester, which has 455 deaths per 1000 of the population, compared to Luton’s 307.

For a long life, head to Wokingham in Berkshire, the best in the country with only 200 premature deaths per 1000.

A Luton company won a top accolade at a glittering awards ceremony.

Printing, web, app and graphic design firm Silvertoad scooped the Business Innovation category at the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) Bedfordshire awards.

Silvertoad, based on the Basepoint business centre in Butterfield, Great Marlings, was the only Luton-based firm to win a category on a night dominated by Bedford and Leighton Buzzard.

Damian Cummins, chairman of the Luton and South Beds branch of the FSB, said the awards celebrated local talent across the county. He said: “Small businesses are saving our economy and it is only right to celebrate local talent across the county.”

Keith Cannell, senior manager for corporate sector development at headline sponsors The Co-operative Bank, said: “This year’s winners will inspire other SMEs and entrepreneurs to emulate their success and keep the Bedfordshire business community thriving.”

Silvertoad’s award was presented by Dave Bangs, of sponsor Alltech Signs and Graphics, based in Camford Way, Sundon Park, in Luton.

The only other Luton firm to get a sniff of glory was Crannull Consulting, in High Town Road, who were runners up in the best new business award, sponsored by My Incubator.

The ceremony was held at The Conservatory at The Luton Hoo Walled Garden.

HITCHCOCK (12: 20th Century Fox), a fact-based account of the making of the famous film director’s Psycho, is a disappointingly inconsequential affair.

The movie opened in cinemas shortly after TV drama The Girl, which portrayed Hitchcock as little more than a sadistic lech.

Here we have a more agreeably comic portrayal, if little else, with Anthony Hopkins, under a mound of make-up, playing the man as a stubborn, wisecracking old teddy bear whose worst crimes are overeating and petty jealousy. But the film runs no deeper than that.

Psycho, Hitch’s belligerent reaction to the success of North By Northwest, has to be self-financed because of studio disinterest and an unhelpful censor.

Meanwhile, there’s a love-triangle involving his wife and creative partner, Alma Reville (a miscast Helen Mirren), and Strangers On A Train adapter Whitfield Cook (Danny Huston).

Sadly, director Sacha Gervasi struggles to bind the two strands to a misjudged fantasy element in which real-life serial killer Ed Gein becomes Hitchcock’s ghoulish confidant.

> A zombie has a strange reaction to eating a man’s brain in offbeat romantic comedy WARM BODIES (12: Entertainment One) – he begins to fall in love with his victim’s girlfriend.

Writer/director Jonathan Levine breaks the rules of the genre by giving us an undead hero, R (Nicholas Hoult), who is able to think deeply about his life (or lack of it) and conveys this in a rib-tickling voiceover.

That spark of humanity is fanned into something warmer by mortal blonde Julie, whose boyfriend Perry literally gives R some food for thought as it allows him to experience old memories of Julie.

The interplay between the couple is suprisingly witty and tender, and there’s a shot of adrenaline later on when R faces off with Julie’s zombie hunter dad (a rabid John Malkovich) and an army of lethal skelton zombies.

While the plot does tend to lumber at times, Hoult carries the burden gracefully, even with a lopsided gait.

> Based on the first in a series of popular boy-meets-witch books, BEAUTIFUL CREATURES (12: Entertainment In Video) is perfect for teens left bereft by the end of the Twilight films.

Alden Ehrenreich plays bored Ethan, who falls for Lena (Alice Englert), the weird new kid in his Deep South home town.

It turns out that she’s a ‘Caster’, a kind of witch, and will come into full possession of her powers on her 16th birthday.

But the youngsters’ budding romance goes wrong when two feuding elders (Jeremy Irons and Emma Thompson) start battling to determine whether Lena’s powers will be turned towards good or evil.

The two young leads are terrific, as are the smartly written early scenes of small-town conservatism and awkward boy/girl smoochy stuff.

The second half doesn’t quite cast the spell of the first, yet it remains decent teen entertainment and augurs well for further films in the franchise.

A taxi driver had his head kicked and stamped on during a “vicious and sustained” attack in Lyndhurst Road on Wednesday (June 12).

The 45-year-old was left with serious head injuries from the violent assault, during which a man also threw a brick through the windscreen of his taxi.

Three offenders were involved in the altercation; one punched the victim several times in the face, causing him to fall to the floor before kicking and stamping on his head.

All three men fled the scene and the victim was taken to the Luton & Dunstable Hospital for treatment where a scan revealed he had suffered a bleed on the brain.

Two of the offenders were Asian males, aged around 18 and 20, and the third is believed to have been a black male.

One of them may have been riding a pushbike.

Det Sgt Chris Beresford said: “This was a particularly vicious and sustained attack on the victim which has left him with some very nasty injuries. It is imperative that we locate the offenders responsible as quickly as possible to stop them from carrying out any further attacks.

“I’d like to appeal to anyone who was in Lyndhurst Road on Wednesday afternoon and may have seen an altercation taking place to get in touch. Even the smallest pieces of information could assist us with our inquiries.”

If you have information relating to this incident, contact DS Beresford, in confidence, on 01582 394092, the non-emergency number 101, or text information to 07786 200011.
