Why does the Conservative run MK Council not collect litter in our play areas often enough?
That is what the Lib Dem Focus team wants to know after visiting all our play areas. They found unacceptable litter in almost ALL of them!
Litter, litter everywhere in the play areas! Top: Vanessa McPake and Cllr Jenni Ferrans at the whirligig play area, Kents Hill.

Talk to your friends and relatives about littering and pester them to stop.
The real question here is why do people continue to litter and create this cost and chore for the council and workers? Littering is a people problem. People are the only species in the entire animal kingdom that creates waste that does not break down. Those who are careless with waste need to change. Those using the play area and the families of those users have a role in education and expectation setting around litter prevention. Interested in what’s happening around the world with littering?
