Hide AdCouncillor David Sheppard, Rotherham Council’s cabinet member for social inclusion, said: “We are really delighted to receive a Green Flag Award for not just one of our parks, but four. We know how much quality green spaces matter to residents, this is especially true over the last 18 months that has seen parks become lockdown lifelines, playing a vital role for people as places to breathe, relax, exercise and meet friends and family safely.
“The news that another of the borough’s green spaces have achieved the Green Flag Award standard is testament to the hard work and dedication of those who look after these wonderful assets for us all to enjoy.”
Green Flag Award Scheme Manager Paul Todd said: “I would like to congratulate everyone involved in making Rother Valley, Clifton, Greasbrough and Ulley parks worthy of a Green Flag Award.”
