BRIAN MAY, ROGER TAYLOR & BEN ELTON TALK ABOUT THEIR HIT MUSICAL AS IT RETURNS TO SHEFFIELD
REGIONAL parks receive international mark of quality We all love a walk in the park, a picnic, or a well-earned rest on a park bench and this week we’re receiving Green Flag awards in recognition of the high standard of Sheffield’s parks and green spaces. Green Flag Awards are an international mark of quality for well managed parks and green spaces all over the world. In Sheffield, 16 of our parks have received this honour, which means they meet the criteria for being safe, welcoming, well maintained and well managed. Sheffield City Council is proud to receive Green Flag Awards for Cholera Monument Grounds and
Clay Wood, Devonshire Green, Ecclesall Woods, Firth Heritage Park, Meersbrook Park, Millhouses Park, Norfolk Heritage Park, Peace Gardens, Sheffield Botanical Gardens, Sheffield Winter Garden, Tinsley Green, Weston Park, Wheata Woods. Green flags were also awarded to Manor Field Park - Green Estate, Wyming Brook - Sheffield & Rotherham Wildlife Trust, Sheffield & Tinsley Canal Canal & River Trust. The Green Flag awards were announced in the same week that Sheffield celebrated Tramlines and the WEUROS semi-final, with both of them using our green

spaces as their event venues in locations across the city. Cllr Richard Williams, Chair of the Communities, Parks and Leisure Policy Committee at Sheffield City Council, said: “We’re very lucky in Sheffield to have such a wonderful, high-quality range of parks, woodland and open green spaces on our doorsteps. “I’d like to thank the Sheffield City Council teams and the great number of volunteers who support us each week. We’re passionate about parks in Sheffield and it shows. “Every site has been assessed by experienced judges including both office and site visits, and to gain 16 awards from
those assessments is a real credit to the city. In Doncaster Elmfield Park and Hexthorpe Park have now attained a level of excellence as set out by organisers Keep Britain Tidy and have received an award that is the international quality mark for parks and green spaces. Arguably Doncaster’s most famous park, the historic site of Elmfield Park is a green space which opened nearly a century ago and is protected by the ‘Fields in Trust’ perpetuity. It has recently undergone a drastic transformation after significant investment brought the park in to the 21st century. Visitors now
