Winners of the Green Flag Award 2008/09

The Green Flag Award, run by the Civic Trust, is an independent national award scheme that recognises and rewards excellence in parks and green spaces.

Applicants for the Green Flag Award are judged on the basis of eight different criteria - these cover areas such as whether the park is a welcoming place and how clean and well maintained it is.

The Awards are given on an annual basis and each site is judged on its own merits and its suitability to the community it serves.

This year all five of our country parks won the Green Flag Award.
