Our green spaces feel a little bit greener today as Keep Wales Tidy has awarded 4 sites within Monmouthshire with a Green Flag for 2022. They are The Old Station Tintern, Caldicot Castle & Country Park, Castle Meadows in Abergavenny & The Monmouthshire & Brecon Canal.
A Green Flag award recognises places that offer excellent facilities whilst demonstrating an ongoing commitment to delivering great quality green spaces, so it's a fantastic achievement for these sites and their staff.
There were also twelve sites that received 'Community Awards' : Caldicot Community Garden, Garden City Sensory Garden, Rogiet Wildlife Friendly Village, Incredible Edible Usk Garden at Monmouthshire County Council’s County Hall in Usk, as well as Mardy Park and Bailey Park, both in Abergavenny, Crick Woodland and Crick Meadow, Crucorney Allotments, Goytre Community Garden, Laurie Jones Community Orchard and The Cornfield in Portskewett. Congratulations to them all.
