Vote For Your Favourite
Green Flag Award-Winning Site

27th November 2009

Are green spaces in Gateshead more gorgeous than in Glamorgan? Does Birmingham have more beautiful parks than Bradford? Are the cemeteries in Cheltenham more cherished than in Chelmsford and do people prefer to admire the allotments in Aylesbury rather than Accrington?

If your local park or green space stands out from the rest then visit the Green Flag Award Scheme website at www.greenflagaward.org.uk and vote by going to the ‘Get Involved’ section. If your favourite park or green space isn’t listed then why not nominate it to win a Green Flag Award telling us why you think it deserves to win.

The site that receives the most votes by the end of September 2010 will receive a special award at the Green Flag Award Scheme’s annual awards ceremony in Autumn 2010.

Paul Todd, manager of the Green Flag Award Scheme, said: “There are some fantastic parks and green spaces all around the country and we’re keen to know which ones are closest to the public’s heart and why.  Feedback from the public is really useful in ensuring that standards in parks are maintained and it gives users of the website the chance to see what other members of the public really think about each park.”

The Green Flag Award is the national standard for parks and green spaces in England, Wales and Scotland and recognises and rewards the best green spaces in the country. 

There are over 1000 parks and green spaces around the country which currently hold the high flying accolade and you can find out more information about each of them on the Green Flag Award website at www.greenflagaward.org.uk

The website was recently re-launched and now allows members of the public to search for Green Flag Award parks in their area by simply entering their postcode.  There is a detailed description of every award-winning park or green space listed, together with contact information, details of future events and a gallery of pictures.

Keep Britain Tidy runs the Green Flag Award in partnership with BTCV and GreenSpace.
