Millennium Woodland Wins Green Award
Having already won the 2007 EDP Pride in Norfolk Community Award and Green Playground Award - 2007 Sprowston has done it again with Millennium Woodland winning the prestigious Green award and Windsor Park Gardens play area taking second place. This award is run by Broadland District Council and projects can include play areas, skate parks, school nature projects, access to woodland walks, well designed open spaces, improved and enhanced local green spaces and conservation projects of any size. It is run bi-annually and open to Parish and Town Councils, local schools, individuals, voluntary residents groups, amenity societies/groups and developers.
Judging is based on a number of factors including good quality landscaping, suitable seating, impact on physical and mental health, benefits to children and young people, bringing the community together, accessibility, value to biodiversity and nature and many more.
This years short list included Catton Park, Acres Way Taverham, Unicorn Yard Aylsham and Catton Recreation Ground, stiff competition indeed.
Join in the Yellow and Greener Initiative
Don't throw away your old or unwanted mobile phones deposit them in the bright yellow bin now located at the Council Office, Recreation Ground Road and help raise funds for the Football Academy Tactic Zone appeal and reduce landfill at the same time.
Contents will be delivered to local company "Love2Recycle" for re-use and recycling and each phone could raise up to £10, money which will go to the appeal.
