Tunbridge Wells Borough Council is flying the flag for three of its beautiful open spaces that have retained their prestigious Green Flag Awards for another year.

Dunorlan Park, Woodbury Park Cemetery and The Grove all met the objective of the Green Flag Award scheme making them among the best in the UK.

They are parks and green spaces that are managed in an environmentally sensitive and sustainable way.

They are welcoming places that are healthy, safe and secure for all members of the community to use.

Councillor Jane March, Cabinet member with responsibility for tourism, leisure and economic development, said: "Once again the support from the Friends groups have helped the parks team secure Green Flag awards for our beautiful green spaces.

"The awards are well deserved and I hope this will encourage more people to visit and enjoy the natural surroundings."
