The area is roughly bounded by Moreton Road and Turners Road North to the north, Crawley Green Road to the south, Vauxhall Way to the west, and Ashcroft Road to the east. HistoryAfter the Second World War, there was a severe shortage of accommodation and new building materials were employed in order to save both time and money. The majority were BISF Houses, which used sheetmetal for the upper parts of the construction, hence the local name for the area becoming ‘Tin Town’. Most of these houses still stand today, although in recent years the local council (or private owners) of these houses have covered the original metal with cladding, and only a few of these properties still show the original characteristic painted metal.[1] Local areaThe local area is mainly residential, although Ramridge Primary School, named after the neighbouring Ramridge End is in the area. PoliticsTin Town is part of the Round Green ward, which also contains parts of Ramridge End and Round Green. The Councillors for Round Green ward are Cllr Yaqub Hanif (Labour), Cllr Mark Rivers(Labour)and Cllr Mohammed Zia (Labour). The ward forms part of the parliamentary constituency of Luton South, and the MP is Gavin Shuker (Labour). Round Green is situated within the East of England (European Parliament constituency). {{-}}Local attractions{{EngPlacesKey}}
