Phillimore Recreation Ground raises prestigious Green Flag Award after achieving international quality mark for parks and green spaces
Today, Aldenham Parish Council is celebrating after receiving a Green Flag Award for Phillimore Recreation Ground, for the fourth consecutive year.
The news that Phillimore Recreation Ground has achieved the accreditation – the international quality mark for parks and green spaces – is testament to the hard work and dedication of the team that care for the green space so that visitors and residents alike can enjoy it.
Keep Britain Tidy’s Green Flag Award Scheme Manager, Paul Todd MBE, said: “I would like to congratulate everyone involved at Phillimore Recreation Ground on achieving a Green Flag Award.
“Phillimore Recreation Ground is a vital green space for communities in Radlett to socialise, enjoy nature, for children to play safely and it provides important opportunities for park users to improve their physical and mental health.
We know that staff work tirelessly to ensure that it maintains the high standards of the Green Flag Award, everyone involved should feel extremely proud of their achievement.
It is important that our free to use spaces are maintained to the Green Flag Award standard, making them accessible for all members of the community while ensuring the environment is protected.”
John Apthorp CBE
Aldenham Parish Council (APC) were deeply saddened to hear of the passing of John Apthorp this week and would like to send heartfelt condolences to his family at this sad time.
Over very many years John Apthorp has supported the local community in a very generous way, both in his personal capacity and through his family charities. In particular, John has been a great supporter of the Radlett Centre and, through his generosity, the centre was able to install new seating, updated lighting and technical equipment.
John also steadfastly supported APC through the years, giving generous donations to help us provide free public celebrations, such as for the late Queen’s Jubilee and the King’s Coronation. He asked for no acknowledgement, simply wanting to help make his community happy.
In recognition of this support, APC awarded John Apthorp the Freedom of the Parish Award in 2017, the first person to receive the highest honour that can be bestowed on a local citizen.
The loss of such a man is immense but he will be remembered for his kindness, integrity, and tireless efforts to make a difference.
