Six Green Flags for Lambeth's Parks
Lambeth Council successfully secured six prestigious Green Flag Awards, the national standard for quality parks and open spaces, at the 2009 Green Flag Awards Ceremony at Bournemouth on Thursday 23rd July 2009. The winning sites are Archbishop's Park, Milkwood Community Park, Myatt's Fields Park, Ruskin Park, St. Paul's Churchyard and Vauxhall Park.
Along with six Green Flags, two of Lambeth's community gardens secured a Green Pennant Award: Brockwell Park Community Greenhouses and Eden at St. Paul's Churchyard. The Green Pennant celebrates the hard work undertaken by local groups to manage and improve their local community greenspaces.
This is the best performance ever for Lambeth and the result of excellent partnership working between council, community and contractors to provide residents of and visitors to Lambeth with quality greenspaces everyone can be proud of. Lambeth Council is committed to increase the number of Green Flags and Green Pennants for the borough, and to ensure that every public greenspace in Lambeth is managed to the exacting Green Flag Award standard.
