SEVEN parks in Blackburn and Darwen have retained their Green Flag awards.
Witton Park, Sunny Hurst Woods, Roe Lee, Hoddlesden Millennium Green, Queens park, Corporation park and Boldventure park have all been able to keep their Green Flag.
The Green Flag Award recognises well-managed, high-quality green spaces.
Executive member for Environment at Blackburn with Darwen Council, Councillor Jim Smith, said: “In these particularly harsh times it is brilliant to see volunteers help the community and make their area a better place to live. It is a true testament to the volunteers and staff for their dedication.”
