This year the following Council parks and open spaces have received Green Flag awards:

Castle Park, Frodsham
Grosvenor Park, Chester
Stanney Fields, Neston
Caldy Valley, Chester

Cabinet Member for the Climate Emergency, Councillor Matt Bryan said: “Cheshire West and Chester has a variety of green open spaces that have played a key role in helping local people stay healthy and active, both physically and mentally, over the last few challenging months.

“Our impressive list of Green Flag Awards shows our commitment to providing top quality green spaces for our residents to enjoy the great outdoors.

“The Council is joining #GoGreenForParks with other regions across the country to light up civic and iconic spaces in green to celebrate great quality parks and green spaces.”
