During 2019 the ‘friends group’ worked hard to ensure that the points raised by the judge in 2018 were acted upon and the improvements suggested incorporated into the monthly task sessions. Throughout the year we were helped by a number of local residents who spent time collecting litter, around the reserve. This is an important part of the work done on the reserve and is vital to ensure success in gaining the Green Flag award. We are always extremely grateful to anyone who helps in this way. This year when judging took place, members of the friends group were able to attend and gain valuable feedback. The judges’ comments were incredibly positive and a great boost to everyone involved. The Annual award ceremony was held in Walsall and a representative from the group attended to collect the ‘flag’ on behalf of everyone involved in helping to improve this lovely green space and to ensure that it remains a place for everyone to enjoy, not only now but for future generations too.
