Green Flag Award for Beacon LNR makes 3 years in a row!

Green Flag Award 2010
Celebrating Green Flag Award 2010
The Beacon Local Nature Reserve has yet again won the prestigious Green Flag Award for the third consecutive year running!

The Reserve covers over 87 acres of land and lies at the heart of Bodmin and is jointly owned and managed in partnership by Bodmin Town Council and Cornwall Council and with the valuable input of the community representatives who participate in the Beacon Management Advisory Group.

Launched in 1996, the Green Flag Award is the nationally recognised standard for Parks and Open Spaces that recognises achievements in management and development of green spaces.

This year, there were seven Green Flag Award winners in Cornwall, with only 73 awarded for the entire South West region. In order to be recognised applicants must meet minimum standards for site presentation and be able to demonstrate good systems and procedures for management and development.
Bodmin Town Council is the only local (parish and town) council in the South West to be associated with winning a Green Flag Award. All other sites are managed by principal authorities (Borough, District, County or Unitary etc).

Retaining the Green Flag Award is a fantastic achievement as it is notoriously difficult to maintain the momentum with which to continue to satisfy the judging criteria and improve year-on-year.

Awards are given on an annual basis and winners must apply each year to renew their Green Flag status. Retaining the Green Flag for a further year is a reflection of the hard work that goes into managing the site and the progress that has been made in developing the site under the Higher Level Stewardship Agreement from Natural England.

Further information on the Green Flag Award Scheme can be found on the Keep Britain Tidy website www.keepbritaintidy.org.uk

Death of Councillor Angie Duffin

Bodmin Town Council is extremely saddened to announce the death of Councillor Angie Duffin after a period of serious illness.

Councillor Duffin joined the Council in June 2005 and since that time has made significant contribution to the Council with particular interest in youth and community matters.

Her commitment was such that she could often be seen attending council and committee meetings with her oxygen supply, but that did not in any way inhibit her astonishing dedication to the town she cared so much for.

The Mayor of Bodmin, Councillor Maggie Denholm, commented that ‘although small in stature, Councillor Duffin had a huge heart and contributed greatly to the Town and its community well being. Bodmin Town Council pays tribute to her and the work that she carried out and our thoughts and prayers go out to her family and friends at this sad time. Councillor Duffin will be sorely missed.’
