THE charity responsible for running the Queen’s parks in London is facing a groundbreaking legal challenge over discrimination against black cleaners. 

The legal action is being brought by an outsourced cleaner at Regents Park, one of several favourite London green spaces run by the Royal Parks. 

The claimant argues that the decision to outsource her on a contract with inferior terms and conditions to in-house staff — of whom 90 per cent are white — was unlawful.
