Bridge End Garden in Saffron Walden has gained special recognition at the 2007 RICS Awards international gala event.
At the 2007 RICS (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors) Awards held at The Dorchester in London last Friday (19 October), Bridge End Garden, managed by Uttlesford District Council, was declared one of the Commended projects in the Community Benefit category.
There were 13 projects in the international shortlist for its category in the Grand Final. Bridge End Garden Restoration Manager John Bosworth said: "I think it is fantastic and I hope all those involved do as well. It is the volunteers, all of you who have given your time and energy in taking this thing so far. Make no mistake about that but I hope we are not finished yet. Now the physical part of the scheme is coming to an end I want to make one final push to develop its educational side with the local schools, for it is through them and principally through them, that this baton can be passes from generation to generation."
