Parks and lawns across the region have received seven Green Flag awards

GREEN fingered residents and council workers have helped the region’s parks and lawns win seven Green Flag awards.

Parks and woods across Cheshire West have been praised for their health and safety, maintenance, cleanliness, and conservation and heritage.

The seven green spaces, including; Westminster Park, Chester; Helsby Quarry, Helsby; Castle Park, Frodsham; and Fury Wood, Winnington, received the sought-after awards.

The executive member for culture and recreation, Cllr Stuart Parker, said: “I am delighted that seven sites throughout Cheshire West have been awarded this high accolade, something I know our green space officers have worked hard to achieve.

“They are helped in many cases by dedicated local groups who want to make their open spaces as green, sustainable and enjoyable as possible for all and dedicate a lot of their free time to maintaining the park.

“This is the first year that Castle Park in Frodsham has received the award and I hope that local residents enjoy making the most of the facilities there and in all of the borough’s green spaces.”
