Sutton Parks win 7 Green Flag Awards

Seven of Sutton's parks have been awarded the prestigious Green Flag Awards.

Carshalton Park became the latest in Sutton to be awarded a Green Flag, bringing the Borough's total to seven awards. 

Last year, six of Sutton's parks were awarded.

Lib Dem-run Sutton Council has worked hard to provide residents with great parks to enjoy across the borough. 

Lib Dem Chair of the Environment and Sustainable Transport Committee Barry Lewis said:

"I’m delighted that Sutton’s parks have won seven prestigious Green Flag awards.

"Our parks and green spaces are at the heart of our community, offering residents space for leisure, relaxation, socialising, and exercise.

"We are investing over £2m in park infrastructure and equipment this year. This sum includes large-scale improvements in the St Helier Open Space, tennis court upgrades, skate ramp refurbishments, tree planting and maintenance, and more.

"These Green Flag awards show that this investment, alongside the hard work of our parks’ teams, volunteers and Friends groups, has really paid off and I congratulate all involved for their success.”
