Jubilee Gardens in London’s South Bank has been officially recognised as one of the country’s best parks after being awarded the coveted Green Flag Award, the international quality mark for parks and green spaces.
The Award is testament to the hard work and dedication of the Jubilee Gardens Trust, the local charity which is responsible for the Gardens, and the management and maintenance contractors that care for the green space on a daily basis so that visitors and residents alike can enjoy it.
Keep Britain Tidy’s Green Flag Award Scheme Manager, Paul Todd MBE, said: “I would like to congratulate everyone involved at Jubilee Gardens on achieving a Green Flag Award.
“Jubilee Gardens is a vital green space for communities in London’s South Bank to socialise, enjoy nature, for children to play safely and it provides important opportunities for park users to improve their physical and mental health.
We know that staff and volunteers work tirelessly to ensure that it maintains the high standards of the Green Flag Award, everyone involved should feel extremely proud of their achievement.
It is important that our free to use spaces are maintained to the Green Flag Award standard, making them accessible for all members of the community while ensuring the environment is protected.”
The Green Flag Award scheme, managed by environmental charity Keep Britain Tidy under licence from the Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government, recognises and rewards well-managed parks and green spaces, setting the benchmark standard for the management of green spaces across the United Kingdom and around the world.
