Three iconic sites in Three Rivers have been given a prestigious award.

Councilllor Chris Lloyd, Lead Member for Leisure, Community and Wellbeing at Three Rivers District Council, said: “We are absolutely delighted to receive a Green Flag Award from Keep Britain Tidy.
“This award recognises and highlights that people in Three Rivers are benefitting from a green space of the very highest quality. I would like to thank all the staff involved who made this possible”.
International Green Flag Award scheme manager Paul Todd said: “We are delighted to be celebrating another record-breaking year for the Green Flag Award scheme.
“All the flags flying this year are a testament to the efforts of the thousands of men and women, both staff and volunteers, who work tirelessly to maintain the high standards demanded by the Green Flag Award.”
