Congratulations on Green Flag Award

As Scottish Labour's spokesperson for Leisure, Arts and Communities on Dundee City Council, I have congratulated everyone concerned with the award of three green flags to Dundee parks, Baxter Park, Barnhill Rock Garden and Trottick Mill Ponds Nature Reserve. I have also written to the Leisure and Communities Department congratulating them on their input and asking them to consider entering other parks for this award next year.

I want to offer my congratulations to everyone concerned in the gaining of these awards. The Green Flag is an important national award which demonstrates the high standard of parks available in Dundee. These awards reflect hard work and excellent partnership working in these parks. The local groups of friends of the various parks deserve particular praise for their voluntary efforts on behalf of these excellent community resources. I think that the process of applying for Green Flag recognition has been beneficial for Dundee's parks it has encouraged best practice and ensured that a better service is offered. I have written to the Leisure and Communities Department congratulating them for their input to these awards and I have asked them to consider including other parks in the entry for these awards next year. Dundee's parks are an excellent asset for the city and its citizens we should all be working together to ensure that they continue to improve in years to come.'
