It’s the 11th consecutive year that the Country Park has received the honour from the Green Flag Awards Scheme which recognises the best green spaces in the world.
This international award, which coincides with Love Parks Week, is now into its third decade. It is a sign to the public that the Country Park offers the highest possible environmental standards, is beautifully maintained and provides excellent visitor facilities.

SWASFT has recently adopted the three-word global address system called what3words in its Control Room to locate patients within a three-square metre area.
999 callers can use the free app to find the three-word address for their location, and share it with the call handler.
The Control Room can use the address to identify the precise location, and send help exactly where it is needed.
