An application will be made next year to try and get Newport Canal Green Flag recognition.
Councillor Carolyn Healy, Telford & Wrekin Council cabinet member for climate action, the environment, heritage and visitor economy, confirmed that a joint submission would be made for the canal and Victoria Park.
The Green Flag Award scheme recognises and rewards well-managed parks and green spaces across the United Kingdom and around the world. “Natural England is responsible for monitoring, advising, and issuing consents and assents for any work and the council is responsible for day-to-day maintenance,” said Councillor Healy.
“For over 15 years, the council has commissioned a specialist contractor to carry out weed control in late summer and that is all done with the permission of Natural England.“A few years ago, we had a water environment grant awarded by the Environment Agency for an £88,000 project to manage some of the evasive species in the canal.
