Today, Ipswich Borough Council is celebrating after again receiving a trio of accolades for Bourne, Christchurch and Holywell’s Parks.
The news of this year’s accreditations for the parks is testament to the hard work and dedication of the team that care for the green spaces of Ipswich, so that visitors and residents alike can enjoy them.
Christchurch Park has held this prestigious award for an amazing 18 years in succession.
