Head to Hillingdon – Home to more Green Flags than anywhere else in London
The winners of the 2017 Green Flag Awards, organised by Keep Britain Tidy, have been announced with the London Borough of Hillingdon coming out top with the greatest number of accolades.
A total of 367 Green Flags were awarded across the UK in recognition of accessible facilities, maintenance and environmental efforts that met strict criteria including horticultural standards, cleanliness, sustainability and community involvement.
Hillingdon, located in west London, was awarded more Green Flags for parks and open spaces than any other entrant with a total of 47 Green Flags, five more than they received last year.
The new additions include Coney Green in Hillingdon, The Gravel Pitts in Northwood, Long Meadow in Eastcote, Cherry Lane Cemetery in Hayes and Southlands Arts Centre in West Drayton. Hillingdon can boast about having more Green Flag-recognised parks and green spaces than anywhere else in the country – for fifth year in a row.
With summer in full swing, many people rely on their local parks as a place to relax with friends as well as to exercise. The Green Flag scheme demonstrates just how much local parks matter to residents and visitors alike.
Be Living Ltd, who operate new homes for rent in the Hillingdon town of Hayes, whole heartedly promotes the green credentials of the local area as well as going to efforts to create even more open spaces for residents.
At Be’s new be:here Hayes development, a number of ground floor homes have 30 foot, secure, private gardens, there is a newly landscaped communal play area and green space at the front of the development as well as trees and planters in the central courtyard and on the roof terrace for all to enjoy.
“Hillingdon’s parks have been enjoyed and cherished by the local community for generations and it’s wonderful for these hidden gems to be recognised through the Green Flag Awards. Within the borough there are plenty of formal gardens, town parks, nature conservation areas, country parks and children’s play areas loved by all. We even won a Gold award in the London in Bloom competition last year!
“At be:here Hayes we believe in the importance of green spaces so offer homes for rent with 30 ft private gardens – perfect for pets – as well as a landscaped central courtyard, roof terrace and new communal play area and green space at the front of the development.”
