Another Award for The Friends of Priory Park


The Friends of Priory Park have won the Green Spaces for Health Award for the second year running. The announcements were made on Friday 1 August at Brierley Hill Civic Centre, where volunteers from the boroughs parks enjoyed a pleasant evening socialising and sharing experiences. Matt Williams, Dudley Council's Assistant Director for Urban Environment talked about how Priory Park had continued to thrive since the Heritage Lottery Funded improvements had taken place and congratulated us on our recent Green Flag Award also. So, for Priory it's a double celebration. Mariann Harris, Chair of The Friends commented on how thrilled she was to be a part of the celebrations. Jan Nicholls and Barbara Thomas (both qualified Walk Leaders) collected the award. Other achievements for Priory included Michelle O'Meara as Sports Enthusiast, Mike Hessey for his contribution to Reporting and Bisade Asolo took the Young People's Award.
