The London Borough of Redbridge is in the process of applying
for Green Flag Status for three of our parks and open spaces –
Valentines Park, Goodmayes Park and Elmhurst Gardens.
The Green Flag Award is the national standard
for parks and open spaces in England and Wales, and provides a
means of recognising and rewarding the best green spaces in the
country.
Assessment Criteria
The criteria by which each site is judged are
grouped under eight main headings that outline the standards that a
Green Flag must achieve and set targets for improvement as
follows:
- A Welcome Park
- Healthy, Safe & Secure
- Well Maintained & Clean
- Sustainability
- Conservation & Heritage
- Community Involvement
- Marketing
- Management
The media and public are becoming increasingly
aware that a site flying a Green Flag is a high quality green
space.
The London Borough of Redbridge is committed
to improving the quality of the facilities available in our area
and this application for the Green Flag Award is all part of our
strategy to make Redbridge a better place to live.
