Cannock Chase Council has scooped six green flag awards, and has retained its top performing District Council status in the West Midlands, in a ceremony last week.
Green Flag Award winners were revealed on 18 July 2019 nationwide, and Cannock Park, Elmore Park, Ravenhill Park, Castle Ring, Stile Cop Cemetery and Hednesford Park are among the record breaking 1,970 UK parks and green spaces and 131 in thirteen other countries around the world.
This international award is a sign to the public that the space boasts the highest possible environmental standards, is beautifully maintained and has excellent visitor facilities.
Councillor Christine Mitchell Portfolio Leader for Culture and Sport said: “We are absolutely delighted to have retained the six green flags for our parks and green spaces in Cannock Chase for the third year in a row.
"We know how much quality green spaces matter to residents and visitors, and this award celebrates the dedication that goes into maintaining the green spaces in the Cannock Chase District.”
