Norfolk Square Garden awarded Green Flag Status

 

Winning a Green Flag Awards brings excellent publicity. Both the media and the public are becoming increasingly aware that a site flying a Green Flag is a high quality green space. We realise that all green spaces are different and this diversity is welcomed. Each site is judged on its own merits and suitability to the community it serves.

 

Awards are given on an annual basis and winners must apply each year to renew their Green Flag status. Throughout the land the owners, managers and staff of many parks and green spaces work tirelessly to ensure their application for the prestigious Green Flag Award is successful.  The number of applicants increases year after year and, with this increasing interest in the scheme, it is clear the Green Flag Award scheme is a resounding success.

 

There has recently been much discussion about the declining quality of our city parks and lack of focus upon rural green spaces. While this is undoubtedly a cause for concern in many places there are also many examples of thriving, popular sites run by dedicated, enthusiastic people working closely with their local communities. Many places that were run-down and neglected just a few years ago are now shining examples of outstanding green space management, and this shows the way forward. The Green Flag Award Scheme is the impetus to an ever-increasing improvement in the quality of our parks and green spaces.

James Glancy Design Plugs Up Paddington Basin

 

A new addition to Paddington Basin is attracting much interest. A giant plug and hole, by James Glancy Design, has been installed on the floor of Paddington Basin where the canal has been drained to enable construction work at Merchant Square.

 

Developers of the Merchant Square scheme, European Land and Property, commissioned the work to create a novel and fun focal point, visually representing the empty canal.
