A HISTORIC beauty spot has received a prestigious award for the sixth year running.
Grappenhall Heys Walled Garden has received a Green Flag Award after a record-breaking year.
The award is the international quality mark for parks and green spaces and is run by the environmental charity Keep Britain Tidy.
After two years of seeing the green space used as a place to relax, exercise and safely meet friends and family during the lockdown, the Green Flag Award is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the small team of staff and volunteers at the site.
“Grappenhall Heys Walled Garden is a vital green space for the community in Warrington,” a spokesperson for the Green Flag Award said.
“This award is testament to all the hard work of staff and volunteers, who do so much to ensure that it maintains the high standards demanded by the Green Flag Award.”
Grappenhall and Thelwall Parish Council is celebrating after the green space has been named as one of the 2208 UK winners.
