Luton Borough Council

Luton Council says its "serious and competitive bid" to buy the land was rejected.

A councillor calls the railway station a "disgrace", "eyesore" and "a national embarrassment".

Luton Council acknowledges the "emotional difficulty" the revelation has had on families and staff.

The authority says it wants to continue to use the land for industry and not housing.

The six authorities miss out on a deal that would have seen a mayor in place by 2026.

Residents will need to move their cars or they could be relocated by the council.

Chief executive Robin Porter says he is stepping down for personal reasons.

Milton Keynes council submits an expression of interest in devolution, but without nearby Northants.
