Public gardens in Radlett have won an award. A brass plaque will eventually be put up in the gardens in Watling Street, which were completed in May 1999, to mark the honour.

Contractor The Garden Company, which remodelled the gardens, has been given the award by the British Association of Landscaping Industries.

The association put the Radlett Gardens in the same category as the Queen Mary rose gardens in London's Regents Park. The plaque will be put up by Aldenham Parish Council, and officially unveiled at a small ceremony.
