GRAPPENHALL and Thelwall Parish Council is celebrating after Grappenhall Heys Walled Garden won a Green Flag Award for the sixth year running.
And residents of the Cobbs Estate, Appleton are also celebrating after they received a Green Flag Award for Lumb Brook Millennium Green.
The award – run in this country by Keep Britain Tidy – is the international quality mark for parks and green spaces.
It has also been won by the Millennium Green previously – but it now comes to both sites again after two years that have seen parks and green spaces play a vital role for people to relax in during “lockdown.”
Keep Britain Tidy’s accreditation manager Paul Todd said: “I would like to congratulate everyone involved in making Grappenhall Heys Walled Garden and the Lumb Brook Millennium Green worthy of a Green Flag Award.”
The Green Flag Award scheme 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.
A spokesperson for Grappenhall and Thelwall Parish Council said the award for the Walled Garden was testament to the hard work of Graham Richardson and a small team of staff and volunteers.
Lumb Brook Millennium Green is held in Trust for the people of Cobbs Estate and is managed by volunteers from the local community.
Directors, Julie Kueres, Valerie Davies, and Nick Antrobus are “delighted” to once again receive the award.
