In the Dagenham Corridor we have two parks that have been awarded the coveted Green Flag Award, Eastbrookend Country Park and the Beam Parklands.
The Green Flag Award® scheme recognises and rewards well managed parks and green spaces, setting the benchmark standard for the management of recreational outdoor spaces across the United Kingdom and around the world.
Its purpose and aim is to:
- ensure that everybody has access to quality green and other open spaces, irrespective of where they live
- ensure that these spaces are appropriately managed and meet the needs of the communities that they serve
- establish standards of good management
- promote and share good practice amongst the green space sector
- recognise and reward the hard work of managers, staff and volunteers
