King Edward VII Park in Wembley and Roe Green Walled Garden in Kingsbury have been awarded prestigious Green Flag Awards, recognising them among the best parks and green spaces in the UK.
The Green Flag Award is an internationally recognised mark of excellence for parks and green spaces, administered by environmental charity Keep Britain Tidy. This is the first time in 12 years that parks in the area have received this accolade.
Roe Green Walled Garden is maintained by local volunteers from the Barn Hill Conservation Group, whose efforts have been pivotal in achieving this recognition.
Councillor Krupa Sheth, Cabinet Member for Environment and Enforcement, said: “This is a massive achievement for everyone that works so hard on keeping our green spaces so welcoming and beautiful. I am so proud and I know that residents will join me in congratulating the Parks Service, volunteers and members of the public who make our green spaces great.
“This is a recognition of the hard work of Krinkels, our contractor who maintain and enhance King Edwards and Bramshill Open Space, as well as local groups such as Barn Hill Conservation group who maintain Roe Green Walled Garden.”
