Local MP Ben Everitt has praised the ‘wonderful community spirit’ in Milton Keynes during the coronavirus lockdown.
For the last two weeks people have been told to stay at home and only go out for essential reasons such as one form of exercise a day, infrequent food shopping or medical emergencies.
And Ben, the MP for Milton Keynes North, has been impressed with the way MK has come together in a time of national emergency.
He said: “It’s been fantastic to see people coming together at a time of real hardship for everybody. There’s been a wonderful community spirit in Milton Keynes.
“I’ve seen loads of supportive Facebook groups set up to help neighbours, a man in Wolverton using his daily exercise to walk around dressed as Pikachu to cheer up childre nand hundreds of rainbows and teddy bear hunts in people’s windows.
“We’re currently living in difficult, unprecedented times but we will get through this and we’re getting through it together so thank you to everyone in MK.”
