Flintshire County Council’s Coastal Unit, which is part of the Council’s Countryside Services, has been recognised for its 13 year beach, dune and community management programme at Talacre, which is run in partnership with BHP Billiton.
Head of Countryside Services, Tom Woodall, and Senior Countryside Ranger, Mike Taylor, received BHP Billiton’s UKPU/HSEC* award, for partnership working on the conservation of the Talacre Dunes, at a ceremony recently.
Tom Woodall said: “It’s a great pleasure to receive this award, which highlights a longstanding partnership arrangement between Flintshire County Council and BHP Billiton. At a time when all local authorities are keen to promote partnership working with the private sector, it shows that Flintshire County Council’s Countryside Services have been well ahead of the game.”
