PEOPLE in Dorset can vote for their favourite park and help the Keep Britain Tidy charity to select the UK People’s Choice award.

Parks and green spaces including some in the county have already been awarded a prestigious Green Flag but residents now have the opportunity to pick their favourite with the People’s Choice.

The vote will open on September 1 and close at noon on September 30. The winner of the People’s Choice will be announced in October.

To vote, simply go to the website greenflagaward.org, select your country or region on the interactive map, find your favourite park or green space and click the ‘vote for this site’ button.
