Chippenham Town Council has been awarded the Green Flag Award for John Coles Park.
Earlier this month, the local council were also awarded a Purple Flag accreditation for the town for a consecutive sixth year.

The competition judge said: “The park is a real credit to the Town Council and its staff. What a fantastic asset – a great visit thank you.”
“This fantastic accreditation reinforces the hard work and commitment shown by the Environmental Services team to ensure the park continues to be a much-valued asset to the Council and for the local community”, a council spokesperson said.
Adding: “The Green Flag Award scheme recognises and rewards well-managed parks and green spaces, setting the benchmark standard for the management of recreational outdoor spaces across the United Kingdom and around the world.”
