Several parks and green spaces have bagged the internationally recognised award, granted by Keep Britain Tidy
Four green spaces in Manchester have received coveted Green Flag Awards, with two more retaining their awards for another year. The internationally recognised accolade is given to parks, cemeteries and green spaces which meet its high standards and are dished out once sites have been assessed by judges.
The awards are granted by the charity Keep Britain Tidy to recognise accessible green spaces that set an international benchmark for management. This year’s awards saw the highest number of accreditations with 2,216 parks receiving an award - and several of them are right here in Manchester. Blackley, Gorton, Philips Park and Southern Cemeteries all received Green Flag Awards, which were announced by Keep Britain Tidy in July. Alexandra and Heaton Park also retained their Green Flag awards.But Heaton Park - Manchester's biggest - managed to bag additional awards, including the Green Heritage Accreditation and two Green Flag Community Awards.
“They provide our residents with priceless place where they can relax, exercise and enjoy themselves. Over the past year we have seen number of parks receive essential investment to help them be the best they can be. “I would like to take a moment to thank the hundreds of volunteers and custodians of our parks and cemeteries who dedicate their time to maintaining these spaces, this award is a great achievement and recognition of the excellent job they do- keep up the good work!”
