Dacorum Borough Council is celebrating after receiving a Green Flag Award for six of their parks and green spaces.

The Green Flag Award is an international quality mark, signifying exceptional standards of cleanliness, safety, and community engagement.

This includes Gadebridge Park, which has proudly secured the award for its second consecutive year. In addition, Bunkers Park and the Water Gardens in Hemel Hempstead, Canal Fields in Berkhamsted, Chipperfield Common, and Tring Memorial Gardens have also successfully retained their accreditation.

The consistent recognition of these parks and green spaces highlights the hard work and dedication of staff and all the volunteers, organisations and community groups who work with us for their upkeep and improvement. It is this commitment and great partnership working that ensure that these areas remain beautiful, safe, and enjoyable for both residents and visitors.
