Clifton and Brackenhurst fly the flag as some of the UK’s best green spaces
Published: 14/10/2021
Our Clifton and Brackenhurst Campuses have been awarded the prestigious Green Flag Award 2021. The flag was awarded to us for the tenth year in a row!
Launched in 1996, the coveted Green Flag Award scheme is an international quality mark for parks and green spaces. It recognises that they are managed to the highest standards and are safe and accessible for everyone to enjoy.
Having access to these fantastic outside spaces can be great for our mental health and wellbeing, with many believing they are important to the local community and need to be protected.
After 18 months that have seen our parks and green spaces play a vital role for people through lockdowns as a place to relax, exercise and meet friends and family safely, the news that Clifton and Brackenhurst have both achieved the Green Flag Award is testament to the hard work and dedication of all the teams that make the green space a great space that everyone can enjoy.
Clifton and Brackenhurst join parks and green spaces as diverse as the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire, Woodhouse Park in Peterlee and Chiswick Old Cemetery in London.
I would like to congratulate everyone involved in making both Clifton and Brackenhurst Campuses worthy of a Green Flag Award.
To meet the requirements demanded by the scheme is testament to the hard work of the staff and volunteers who do so much to ensure that Clifton and Brackenhurst have high standards of horticulture, safety and environmental management and are places that support people to live healthy lives.
