Ross-on-Wye Town Council joins in celebrations for Love Parks Week
27 July 2023
Ross-on-Wye Town Council will be among hundreds of Councils and parks across the country taking part in Love Parks Week 2023.
The celebration will take place from 28th July to 6th August, bringing together local authorities, green space managers, landowners, residents and community organisations to celebrate and support our fantastic green spaces all across the country.
Ross-on-Wye Town Council will be promoting the use of our open spaces and keeping them clean and tidy as part of the campaign.
Ross Town Council’s Operations Manager, Duncan Rowe, said: “With the start of the summer holidays it is the perfect opportunity for families to get outdoors and enjoy our beautiful open spaces such as the Rope Walk, Long Acre, Dean Hill Park and Caroline Symonds Gardens. Please remember to use the many bins provided for any rubbish to help keep these areas clean and tidy.”
Keep Britain Tidy’s Chief Executive, Allison Ogden-Newton OBE, said: “The Love Parks campaign would not be possible without the backing of our local authority partners, including Ross-on-Wye Town Council, park managers and landowners.
“This week is an opportunity for everyone to recognise the value of our parks and green spaces for communities, health and wellbeing, and to encourage groups within our communities that may not think of parks as a space for them to visit.”
This year’s campaign is made possible thanks to players of People’s Postcode Lottery.
