Green Flag Award - double success for local cemeteries
Prestigious award for council’s Cemeteries Team and Morecambe and Torrisholme cemeteries.
Torrisholme Cemetery receives the award for the third year running whilst Morecambe Cemetery with Morecambe Parish Church wins the award for the first time.
Green Flag Awards recognise and reward the best cemeteries, parks and open spaces in the country and both Torrisholme and Morecambe cemeteries stood out, after impressing the judges with well managed green space that improves biodiversity, conservation and heritage and involves the local community.
Councillor David Kerr, cabinet member with responsibility for environmental health said: “I would like to congratulate all the cemeteries staff and members of the two friends groups for all their hard work over the last year in achieving and maintaining the Green Flag standards.”
