Grubby play park gets a good scrub in Milton Keynes

The Langerstone Lane Play Park in Tattenhoe was looking neglected and in need of some TLC, local Conservative councillors decided.

Cllrs Maneesh Verma and James Lancaster, alongside community champion Shazna Muzammil, got together with local company Extreme Clean Solutions, who volunteered their time and equipment free of charge.

They spent two days scrubbing the park and its equipment until it was sparking clean.

Shenley Brook End Parish Council was supportive of this effort and helped make the transformation happen.

Extreme Clean Solutions managing director Michael Broderick said afterwards: “The play parks are a vital part of our community and the children love using it. When I heard that Shazna needed help restoring this park, I had to do anything that I could to help out. Shazna is very passionate about her community and it was nice to work with her and the parish council on this.”Shazna said: “For me it is all about working for the community and making sure we can support the residents as best as we can. Kids need a safe place to play and there’s still so much that we can do.”Cllr Lancaster told the Citizen: “We will continue to do what we can to support our community. Litter picking, street cleaning and improving our play areas. Residents know that if they get in touch with us, we will support them with their local issues.”
