In Numbers

How do you keep Wembley Park looking tip-top after major events?

The team does an incredible job cleaning the estate after Wembley Stadium events and neighbourhood events such as the Jubilee Dance Party and the recent Diwali celebration. Many of the Stadium events bring an additional 70,000 visitors to Wembley Park but when you see the estate the following morning you see very little evidence that they have been here.

What are the biggest changes to the neighbourhood you’ve seen during your time here?

The greatest change has been residents moving into Wembley Park. Prior to 2005, the area was predominantly commercial buildings, entertainment venues and vast open spaces providing event day parking. Going back 10 years, we only had two restaurants on the estate where we could grab an after-work drink. These days we are spoilt for choice.

What does the typical day look like for you and your team?

We work from 6am to 11pm. The cleaning team sweeps the streets, collects litter and services waste bins before moving on to detailed cleaning tasks such as chewing gum and graffiti removal and dealing with any stains on our pedestrian areas. The team also periodically collects litter and services our dedicated dog exercise areas. Our maintenance and landscaping teams carry out their planned tasks and attend to any issues that have been reported overnight by our 24-hour on-site estate protection team. What are the best parts of your role?

I love being part of the team that is delivering this awesome project, creating a neighbourhood and bringing residents and visitors to Wembley Park. I get a real kick out of seeing the estate so alive and vibrant – people sitting outside restaurants and cafés, walking in the parks, eating lunch or catching up with friends on the lawns. The sounds of dogs in the bark parks and children in the play parks is the sound of Wembley Park’s success.

What positive changes have you and the team taken to be more sustainable at Wembley Park?

We are always looking at ways that we can improve our environmental performance and reduce our impact. We use environmentally friendly cleaning products, install LED lighting during lifecycle replacements and have rationalised our lighting control. Our landscaping team has implemented the use of battery-operated tools to minimise the use of fossil fuels. They minimise noise pollution too. The use of the Envac system reduces the number of waste trucks that are required to remove our waste. Of course, there’s always more to do and we look forward to operating increasingly sustainably moving forward.
