Two Hinckley parks in running for awards

Voting closes at the end of the month.

Hinckley and Bosworth residents are being encouraged to vote for Hollycroft Park and Argents Mead as two of the best parks in the country. 
 
They were both awarded a prestigious Green Flag Award back in July. 
 
Now they are in the running for a People’s Choice Award, which gives the public the power to decide the top 10 parks from all Green Flag Award sites across the UK.

You can now have your say by voting online using the links below.

To vote for Hollycroft Park go to: https://www.greenflagaward.org/park-summary/?park=1082 
 
Cllr Lynda Hodgkins, Executive Member for Parks and Open Spaces at the Borough Council, said: “We are very proud that both Hollycroft Park and Argents Mead are among the contenders for the UK’s top 10 parks once again. 
 
“The sites have now won 25 Green Flag Awards between them and Hollycroft Park made it into the national top 10 last year. It would be great to win it again, and to get Argents Mead up there too would be the icing on the cake. 
 
“Both parks are hugely popular, regularly used for a range of activities for children and adults alike, from sports and musical performances to our hugely popular Feast Hinckley weekend and Snap Dragon, our three-day children’s festival. 
 
“I would urge Hinckley residents and visitors to take a few minutes to vote and if you can’t make your mind up, you can vote for both!” 
 
Voting closes on 31 October, with the top 10 winning sites announced in the following weeks.
