Green Flag Award
We have secured the Green Flag Award. For more information on all winners please visit the website: www.greenflagaward.co.uk
- The Green Flag Award is a national award scheme for parks, which recognises good environmental management.
- The Green Flag Award Scheme is designed to recognise the highest standards amongst England's parks and publicly accessed green spaces.
- It rewards those who attain the demanding criteria and in doing so, it helps to encourage other park authorities and organisations to improve their environment and management standards, so that they in turn may be eligible for a Green Flag.
