Accrington Cemetery and Crematorium, along with Wilson Playing Fields and Woodlands, Lowerfold, Cutwood Park in Rishton, Oakhill, Mercer and Gatty Parks have each been awarded a Green Flag - a sign to visitors that they are well-maintained and well-managed, with excellent facilities.
Cllr Ken Moss, Cabinet Member for Parks said, “A lot of hard work, by a lot of people has gone into getting these Green Flags and their award is a testament to the sterling job done by the many community groups and staff involved. The fact that we now have seven sites, holding the prestigious Green Flag is great news for everyone, as this shows that they are well managed and maintained, welcoming, safe for users and have good links with the local community.”
Cllr Moss added, “A big thank you should go to the Friends and other support groups associated with the parks such as Hyndburn Green Spaces Forum, PROSPECTS, Hyndburn Athletics Club, Residents Associations, the Local History Society and our dedicated parks, cemetery and crematorium staff who all worked so hard to make these magnificent seven sites reach the high standards to get Green Flag status.”
