Friends of Tower Hamlets Cemetery Park

The Cemetery Park has won a Green Flag Award and will therefore, together with all other winning sites, be entered into the annual People’s Choice Award vote. Last year saw over 35,000 votes from the public, and the Cemetery Park was lucky enough to make it into the top 20. This year the Friends are hoping the Cemetery Park will come in the top ten. They are asking supporters to go to the Green Flag Award website and click the button which says “vote for this site”:
