Luton is compact, densely built and busy with traffic for most of the day, which makes mud or debris on the road a problem within minutes rather than hours. London Luton Airport dominates the south-eastern side of the town, and the car parks, access roads and construction projects around it are a regular source of sweeping work, some of it requiring security clearance.
Elsewhere, regeneration is reshaping the town centre and former industrial land, including the long-established vehicle manufacturing site near the airport. The M1 runs along the western edge with junctions 10 and 11, and the A6 and A505 pass through the built-up area. Industrial estates at Leagrave and along the Dunstable side add yards and estate roads to the mix.
Areas covered around Luton
Leagrave, Stopsley, Limbury, Wigmore and Round Green are all covered, along with Caddington, Slip End and Houghton Regis just outside the borough. With the M1 alongside, operators can generally get into Luton easily, though peak-hour congestion affects arrival times and every booking is subject to a sweeper being available.
