Bushey's parks hoping to retain Green Flag status

1:11pm Friday 3rd February 2012 in News By Chris Hewett

Three public parks in Bushey are looking to hold on to their titles as some of the best green spaces in the country in the coming months.

King George Recreation Ground, Fisher’s Field nature reserve and the Bushey Rose Garden have all been put forward for this year’s Green Flag Awards by Hertsmere Council.

All three have previously been handed different categories of awards, which recognise parks and green spaces setting the benchmark for maintenance and environmental standards.

Bushey’s nominees are three of six across Hertsmere, with Aberford Park in Borehamwood and Parkfield and Oakmere in Potters Bar also being put forward.

The awards are run by the Keep Britain Tidy campaign and the judges will be announcing the winners in July.
