She said: “Since the pandemic, Priory Park has become even more important for local people as a place to spend time and relax.

“It feels good to help keep it such a lovely and special environment for our beautiful town. Many thanks to Waitrose for recognising our work as volunteers in caring for our heritage green space.”
