Green Flag Awards for Liverpool's Parks

The Green Flag Award scheme is managed by Keep Britain Tidy along with GreenSpace and BTCV on behalf of the Department for Communities and Local Government and the Green Flag Advisory Board. Members of the Board include CABE Space and the Big Lottery Fund.

There are eight criteria which Green Flag Award judges assess - a welcoming place; healthy, safe and secure; well maintained and clean; sustainability; conservation and heritage; community involvement; marketing; and management.
