Haworth's Central Park has retained the coveted Green Flag which is awarded by the Civic Trust to the best green spaces in the country.

The site joins Lister Park, Peel Park and St Ives Estate as the only four parks and open spaces in the Bradford district to be awarded a Green Flag.

Gillian Hill, of the Friends of Central Park, Haworth, said: "We have improved community involvement - it looks nice and the people of Haworth are working very closely with the council. Resident and council involvement is an important criteria the judges look at.

"Our main aim at the moment is to get a bandstand."

The Civic Trust is the country's leading urban environment charity, set up more than 40 years ago to inspire and promote improvements in urban life.

It actively encourages people to take pride in their parks by awarding Green Flags.

Councillor Anne Hawkesworth, of environment and culture, said: "This again is more recognition that the parks in the Bradford district are among the best in the country."
