Green Flag Award
Sanders Park has successfully
achieved the Green Flag Award for the fifth year running in 2010
with improved scoring from last year. A copy of the Management Plan
for 2010 - 2015 will be uploaded soon.
The raising of the flag ceremony
took place in July 2010 and local poet Lis Breene took time out to
write a
poem to accompany the
event.
'The objective of the Green Flag Award scheme is to encourage
the provision of good quality public parks and green spaces that
are managed in environmentally sustainable ways. The Green Flag
Award helps to create public recognition of good quality green
spaces and in doing so aims to rebuild people's confidence in them.
The Award aspires to raise expectations of what a public green
space can offer and to reassure people that the high regards they
have for their public parks and green spaces is not misplaced'.
