WORK to keep the Royal Borough's parks clean and green for visitors to enjoy is being stepped up.

There will be a new focus on removing litter as the team - working with contractors ISS Waterers and the community wardens - carry out high profile litter patrols to keep parks clean and safe.

ISS Waterers - as part of their new contract with the council - will be sporting borough uniforms to make them easily recognisable as part of the parks team.

Cllr Simon Dudley, lead member for adult and community services, said: "The new high-vis patrols are part of the council's ongoing plans to make our parks even better for everyone in our community. We continue to invest heavily in many parks with a new pavilion at Braywick ready to open in April, shrub and tree planting in many parks and a new investment programme for children's play areas currently under negotiation with Play England.

"The borough is very fortunate to have such great facilities and while the council has a huge part to play in maintaining them for everyone to enjoy, every resident can make a difference by putting their litter in the bins provided and clearing up after their dogs. We must ensure that the parks remain pleasant for all - now and for future generations."
