Congleton Park retains Green Heritage Site status celebrating its historical significance

Congleton Park has been celebrated for its 'quality, condition, and cleanliness'.
Cheshire East Council has announced that 11 of its parks and green spaces have been awarded the Green Flag Award, including Brereton Heath Local Nature Reserve.
In addition, three of the borough's iconic sites - Tatton Park, Congleton Park, and Queens Park - have once again retained their Green Heritage Site status, celebrating their historical significance and outstanding management of particular historic features.
Councillor David Jefferay, chair of Cheshire East's environment and communities committee, said: "We're incredibly proud and this reflects the hard work and dedication of our officers, volunteers and 'friends' of parks groups.
"Their commitment plays a vital role in keeping our parks welcoming and an enjoyable outdoor space for everyone, so well done and a big thank you to all involved.
"These awards demonstrate the pride our communities take in caring for our local environment. From planting wildflowers to enjoying our green spaces with family, every action contributes to the success we're celebrating today.
"We are very lucky to have an abundance of parks and green spaces in Cheshire East, giving residents the opportunity to explore nature and wildlife to enrich wellbeing."

The Green Flag Award scheme, managed by environmental charity Keep Britain Tidy under licence from the Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government, recognises and rewards well-managed parks and green spaces.
The Green Flag Award is an international quality 'kitemark' for parks and green spaces and is a benchmark standard for the management of green spaces in the UK and around the world.
