The experts have had
their say and in July 1883 parks and green spaces in the UK were given a
prestigious Green Flag Award. An additional 105 sites hold the Award around the
world.
Now, the Award
Scheme is asking the public to have its say and decide which parks and green
spaces should receive the People’s Choice Awards for being the UK’s and the
world's favourites.
Voting takes place
until September 30 2018, with the top 10 sites in the UK and top ten
internationally being announced on October 16 2018.
Paul Todd, Green
Flag Award Manager said: "The People’s Choice Award is a chance to
show how much your favourite park means to you. If it’s worth shouting about,
make your voice heard and vote now.”
Paul Rabbitts Head
of Parks, Open Spaces & Projects, whose Cassiobury Park was among the top
10 winners last year said: “Cassiobury Park is often referred to as the jewel
in our crown here in Watford.
"We are immensely proud of it and we truly believe
it is one of the finest parks in the country and are delighted it was voted as
one of the top ten parks last year. We will certainly be hoping it is as
popular again this year”
