Nine parks and gardens in Arun have been awarded or retained their prestigious Green Flag Awards.
They’ve grown from six to nine awarded sites, including Brookfield Park, Mewsbrook Park, Norfolk Gardens in Littlehampton, Old Rectory Gardens in Felpham, Marine Park Gardens in Aldwick, Hotham Park in Bognor Regis. Joining them are Jubilee Gardens in Bognor Regis, Marina Gardens in Littlehampton and Arundel Cemetery.
The Green Flag Award scheme, managed by environmental charity Keep Britain Tidy, recognises and rewards well-managed parks and green spaces.
Keep Britain Tidy. Scheme Manager, Paul Todd MBE said: “So much dedication goes into ensuring these green spaces are kept to a high standard. Everyone involved should feel extremely proud of their achievement.”
Councillor Amanda Worne, Chair of the Environment Committee at Arun District Council, said: “This amazing award is the result of the collaboration with Arun District Council’s Greenspace Team, gardeners from the council’s contractors, Tivoli Group Limited, and support from a dedicated team of volunteers.
“We encourage residents to spend time in our parks to not only appreciate their beauty, but to reap the benefits of the vital role our green spaces play in our health and wellbeing.”
