Basingstoke MP Maria Miller is delighted to see that Eastrop Park and War Memorial Park have once again been awarded a Green Flag Award for outstanding parks.
Eastrop Park has held Green Flag status for the past 23 years, while War Memorial Park has received the same award for 15 years.
Green Flag status shows a park has the highest environmental standards, is safe and clean, has excellent facilities, and is very well maintained. Eastrop Park and War Memorial Park have both met this very high bar for excellence.
Maria said, ‘it is thanks to Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council’s grounds maintenance team that these parks have held, and continue to hold, Green Flag status for so long. They look after the parks so well and make sure we all have somewhere safe and beautiful to enjoy the outdoors.’
The Green Flag Award is accredited by Keep Britain Tidy and is an international quality mark. For more information about Basingstoke parks, visit https://www.basingstoke.gov.uk/local-parks
