The award is the international quality mark for parks and green spaces and puts Edge Hill amongst some of the best green spaces and parks in the UK.
This achievement is a testament to the dedication of Edge Hill’s Facilities Management Team who have worked hard in all weathers to maintain the extensive campus grounds to the highest standards, providing a beautiful space for students, staff and members of the public to enjoy.
Grounds Manager Neil Toner said: “The whole FM team take pride in making the campus a beautiful place to live and work. The team’s hard work and dedication is reflected by the 11th Green Flag Award we have received, marking over a decade of Edge Hill’s campus sitting amongst the best green spaces in the country.
“I’d like to thank every member of staff for their contribution to winning this award.”
