Luton Airport, the first sight you see when you land, is the car park which burnt down in October ‘23. You have thought that they would’ve put some kind of scaffold sheeting up to hide it, but I’m not surprised. Nothing says budget cuts and poor planning as much as this.

Some of those cars look like they didn’t get damaged, wonder how insurance worked for those folks x
Some of the cars don’t look too badly fire damaged will be seeing them at bca or copart very soon
If the aesthetics of the airport concern you wait until you see the rest of the town…
Looks quite nice for Luton, in fairness
You’d have thought they’d put something up to cover it. It makes the area look like downtown Mariupol. Not ideal when you are arriving for a holiday.
I believe they were still removing some cars up until recently and I can see in the photo what appears to be a few remaining ones. Covering up the exterior will create more work when it would need to be taken down each day they are removing them.
It’s a tourist attraction.
Budget cuts? Is this supposed to be a veiled attempt to bash the evil Tories once again? It’s private property, nothing to do with budget cuts!

Imagine flying back from a lovely holiday, only to see your old car dangling like that
This is part of the reason why everyone’s insurance is going up this year…
I think it’s good that visiting tourists can get an authentic Luton experience, even if they get straight on the train to London.
That car park is the nicest bit of Luton to be fair
Those damn Avalanche terrorists. Don’t they understand that mako is a safe, clean energy source for all?
Oh, that’s bleak. 🙁
Luton and Dunstable in a nutshell.
I saw the picture, and I immediately said, “luton.” I’ve never been to luton and live in Manchester so that says it all.
I’d say its a pretty solid introduction to the state of the country at the moment.
What model of car is that. Some excellent hand break.
It’s called managing expectations.
Sheesh how does a flipping car park catch fire?
Welcome to Luton!
Can’t believe that’s still full of cars
I mean. It’s not like it detracts from Luton’s architectural attractiveness.
It says: Welcome to the UK. What 14 years of Tory rule has done to the country.
Welcome to the UK(raine).
My brother happened to be there taking a flight to Serbia for holiday. He didn’t tell me and this was before I saw it in the news. Just sent me a picture of a fire. I said “Luton?”. He sent “Yeah.”
Sorry your eyes got offended there, Helen Lovejoy.
