TWO of Worcester’s parks have been awarded a prestigious Green Flag award.


The award puts Gheluvelt park, in Barbourne, and Cripplegate park, in St John’s, among the best in the country.

Judges were impressed by the excellent use of green space, well-maintained facilities and high standard of safety and security at both sites.

Simon Geraghty, leader of Worcester City Council, said: “I’m delighted that once again we will be flying the Green Flag at more than one of our beautiful parks.”

A record 1,200 Green Flags and Green Pennants - given to green spaces managed by a community or voluntary groups - were awarded across the UK, compared to 1,013 in 2009.

Green Flags can be awarded to a park which is both free to enter and open to the public.

Paul Todd, manager of the Green Flag Award Scheme, said: “The staff running the parks work very hard throughout the year to ensure their facilities are maintained to a high standard and enjoyed by the entire community.

“As the recession bites and people look closer to home to enjoy the outdoors, the provision of high-quality, free open spaces is of particular importance.”
