We’re proud that our beautiful parks and open spaces are once again flying the prestigious Green Flag Award – a mark of excellence recognising the very best parks in the UK. Now it’s time for you to help them gain even more recognition. The People’s Choice Green Flag Awards give the public the chance to vote for their favourite parks — and we’d love to see Burntwood Park and Beacon Park among this year’s top picks. Vote for Beacon Park and Burntwood Park in this year's awards! We'd love your support!

Enter today!

The garden waste subscription period for 2025 is now closed. The subscription window for 2026 will open in late November. If we have your email, we’ll notify you when the 2026 sign-up begins. We'll also publish details online.
