FIVE Warrington parks and green spaces have reason to cheer after picking up top national awards.
Walton Gardens, Fox Covert Cemetery, Risley Moss, Walton Crematorium and Burtonwood Cemetery have all received the Green Flag award - the national standard for quality parks.
The five council-owned locations were all judged to be of a high standard Clr Graham Welborn, executive member for Warrington Borough Council, said: "What a fantastic achievement for Warrington.
"It is testament to a lot of hard work by many dedicated people, particularly officers in our parks and green spaces teams, who work behind the scenes.
"I would like to thank them, and our partners, for their contributions to the parks."
