Five parks based in west Norfolk have been awarded the coveted Green Flag Award and have been officially recognised as some of the country’s best parks.
The Walks, Tower Gardens and Mintlyn Crematorium in King’s Lynn and Boston Square Sensory Garden and Heritage Gardens in Hunstanton have achieved the accreditation for 2023 – the international quality mark for parks and green spaces. The award is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the team that care for the green space so that everyone can enjoy it.
Keep Britain Tidy’s Green Flag Award Scheme Manager, Paul Todd MBE, said: “I would like to congratulate everyone involved at the borough council in achieving a Green Flag Award once again. These sites provide vital green space for the community in West Norfolk, bringing people together and providing opportunities to lead healthy lifestyles. The staff and volunteers do so much to ensure it maintains the high standards of the Green Flag Award and everyone involved should feel extremely proud of their achievement”.
The Green Flag Award scheme, managed by environmental charity Keep Britain Tidy under licence from the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, recognises and rewards well-managed parks and green spaces, setting the benchmark standard for the management of green spaces across the United Kingdom and around the world.
