Parks, open spaces and play areas
In Lightmoor Village there are a number of fantastic parks, open spaces and play areas we are proud to look after.
We are dedicated to making sure our parks and open spaces are welcoming, accessible to our communities, environmentally friendly and biodiverse.
To do this our estates and stewardship, grounds maintenance and estate caretaking teams work hard together to maintain and protect the environment that our community uses.
This work includes, tree work, grass cutting, hedge trimming, shrub bed pruning and maintenance, weed spraying and removal, emptying litter bins and litter picking and leaf clearing and repairs.
These services are funded through the Stewardship Charge that all residents contribute towards. More information can be found here
