AN online petition set up to try and help Luton win city status in the Queen’s diamond jubilee has gathered just over 1,100 signatures.
The petition, set up by Linsey Frostick, chairman of the Love Luton campaign working group, has gained 1,132 names since it was set up last month.
Linsey said: “this is a great way for us to show the level of support the city bid has among local people.
“Our sponsors and local politicians have been writing to the Deputy Prime Minister and this e-petition sends a strong message to the Government. Luton deserves city status.”
