Memorial park in Walsall receives major clean up thanks to local business

A park and playground in Walsall has received a major clean due to support from local business.

Willenhall Memorial Park’s playground and splash pad have had a deep clean following support form volunteers from Hazclear Industrial Cleaning and Waste Management Services. The business used specialist cleaning equipment to remove a build-up of moss from the splash pad and beneath the climbing frame in the children’s play area.

The deep clean has left the surfaces looking cleaner, helping to give the facilities a new lease of life with work the work being carried out as part of Walsall Council’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programme.

Councillor Matt Eason, Portfolio Holder for Culture, Health and Wellbeing, said: “It’s great to see local businesses giving their time and expertise to benefit our communities.

“Hazclear’s work at Willenhall Memorial Park is a great example of how businesses can make a positive difference to our parks and green spaces, helping to keep them enjoyable places for residents and families to spend time together.”

The programme gives local businesses the opportunity to use their skills and expertise to support projects that benefit communities across the borough.

Scott Sjoerdsma, Hazclear Director, said, "As a local business, we’re proud to be able to use our expertise and specialist equipment to give something back to the community.

"Willenhall Memorial Park is an important space for local families including my own family, and we’re pleased to have played a part in making the playground and splash pad cleaner and more welcoming for everyone to enjoy.

“We’d like to thank Walsall Council for the opportunity to get involved, and we look forward to supporting more initiatives that make a positive difference to our local communities."
