Local MP for Basingstoke, Maria Miller is delighted that Basingstoke has achieved Green Flag status for both Eastrop Park and the War Memorial Park.
Eastrop Park has been awarded Green Flag status for the 18th year running, while War Memorial Park has received the same award for the 10th year in a row.
The award, which is nationally recognised as a sign of a well-managed, clean and safe park, was given to Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council by environmental charity Keep Britain Tidy.
Eastrop Park has held Green Flag status for the past 21 years, while War Memorial Park has received the same award for 13 years.
Maria said, “Particular congratulations go to Borough Council team despite the challenges of coronavirus, have worked hard to keep our parks across Basingstoke an oasis of green. Green space in and around our town is an important part of what makes Basingstoke a great place to live and this is a fantastic achievement.”
