PEOPLE in Ealing are being encouraged to vote for their favourite local park in the nationwide search for Britain’s park of the year.

Thirteen of Ealing’s parks were awarded a prestigious Green Flag in July, the highest number in the borough’s history.

All 13 are now in the running to be named the country’s most-loved park in Keep Britain Tidy’s annual People’s Choice Award.

A record breaking 1,482 parks and green spaces received a Green Flag this year. Now, people are urged to vote for which one is the best.

Voting will close at midday on Tuesday, September 30 and the winner of the 2014 People’s Choice Award will be announced on October 16 at a ceremony in London.
