Peter, Rehana, Tony, Melissa and Nigel discuss the UK 2021 Census results and what they show us about Luton. The 2021 census showed that the population of Luton now has a non-white majority with 54.8 per cent of the population being non-white. Luton is found in the fastest growing region of England and is one of four authorities outside of London with the majority of the population being from ethnic minority groups.  In this discussion we look at resources being matched to these figures and the disproportion of child poverty in different demographics.
