GREEN FLAG AWARD

Nottingham City Council has an excellent record of achievement for Green Flag. The Council, working with Community and Friends groups is embarking on an ambitious programme to bring more sites up to the standard through the 'Breathing Spaces' Framework, over the next 10 years.

The Green Flag Award is the national standard for parks and green spaces in England and Wales. The award scheme began in 1996 as a means of recognising and rewarding the best green spaces in the country. It is also seen as a way of encouraging others to achieve the same high environmental standards, creating a benchmark of excellence in recreational green areas. The awards are given on an annual basis and winners must apply each year to renew their Green Flag status.
