"The awards, which are run by environmental charities Keep Britain Tidy, BTCV and GreenSpace, have been announced during national Love Parks Week, during which people are encouraged to enjoy the nation’s parks and green spaces. The Green Flag judges reward excellent use of green space, well-maintained facilities, community involvement and a high standard of safety and security.
Camden’s parks are getting better every year with Maygrove Peace Park this year joining the seven parks who received the prestigious award in 2009. Bloomsbury Square, Brunswick Square, Russell Square, St Georges Gardens, St Martins Gardens, Talacre Gardens and Waterlow Park all maintained their Green Flag Awards from 2009.
Tracey Shackle, Chair of Maygrove Peace Park friends group, was thrilled with the award. She said: "We are really proud of the whole community who should see this as a reward for the hard work they’ve put in. We couldn’t have transformed this park into a community-friendly space without the dedication of the parks department so I’d like to say a big thank you to them especially."
Our congratulations as well!
