RESIDENTS in Taunton Deane are being asked to vote for their favourite park as part of the People's Choice Awards.

This year an army of experts awarded a record breaking 1,797 Green Flag Awards to the UK’s very best parks and green spaces. 

Taunton Deane Borough Council celebrated receiving five Green Flag Awards for its open spaces: Vivary, Victoria and French Weir Parks in Taunton and Wellington Park and Swains Lane Nature Reserve in Wellington.

Last year saw tens of thousands of people voting for their favourite park, with winners coming from all across the UK, from London to Lanarkshire

But now people across the country are being asked to vote for their parks in the People's Choice Awards so they can help find out what the nation's favourite parks are. 

Paul Todd, International Green Flag Award manager said: “Following the huge success of #LoveParks Week, the People’s Choice Award is another chance to show how much your favourite park means to you.

Residents have until September 30 to vote.
