Travis Perkins, and Travis Perkins Managed Services, have revitalised an area of West Northampton, providing materials and volunteer support to transform Park Square in Kings Heath.
Working in partnership with West Northamptonshire Council and dedicated local volunteers, the Travis Perkins Northampton branch on Harvey Reeves Road and the business’ Managed Services division donated nearly £3,000 worth of materials to rejuvenate the precinct.
The project was completed in several stages, with volunteers from the Travis Perkins Managed Services team working alongside the community to install four raised flower beds, repaint benches and railings, and create murals to make the square more inviting.
Social value manager at Travis Perkins Managed Services, Michelle Smith, said: “We are delighted to support our local community by helping to refresh and revitalise this important shared space.
“The transformation of Park Square has made it a brighter and more welcoming environment for residents to enjoy. The materials we provided have made a visible impact, with the new greenery from the raised beds bringing fresh life to the precinct.
“Through our conversations with the council, it’s clear how committed the community is to maintaining this space, and we are proud to contribute to a project that will have a lasting, positive legacy for everyone in the area.”
