At Tuesday’s Cabinet meeting additional funding of £100,000 was allocated for the Council’s city-wide clean-up plans.
More estates have been added to plans for deep cleans over the next year, with Stantonbury, Bradville, Fullers Slade & Beanhill all set to receive work to tackle problem areas in the estates.
Labour councillor for Stantonbury ward, Cllr Martin Petchey told us:
“After hearing from local residents in my ward I donated half of my 2019/20 councillor budget to a Bradville clean-up”
He continued: “I’m glad to see that our Labour-led Council has listened to local people’s concerns and gone one step further by allocating more funding to include Stantonbury and Bradville in the city-wide clean up.”
Clean up activities will include clearing overgrown landscaping, tackling weed infested footpaths, litter picking and action on the rat population.
Labour councillor for Woughton & Fishermead, Cllr Hannah O’Neill added: “Labour-led MK Council are committed to getting the basics right and this additional funding will help us to continue to meet this commitment.”
She added: “I’m delighted to see Beanhill has been added to the list of estates and that it will receive a clean-up alongside neighbouring Netherfield & Coffee Hall. I know this will be very welcomed by residents there."
