Project Success and Legacy
By the end of the scheme, 245 out of the planned 250 Greens were created. Whilst some lessons were learnt about creating such schemes, the Countryside Agency considered the project such a success that it launched a follow-on project to continue creating locally-run public green areas called "Doorstep Greens" in 2001. The CA's successor, Natural England has evaluated both schemes and identified some weeknesses in the plans for both Pocket Parks and Millennium Greens that have made them difficult to create and maintain in perpetuity. Millennium Greens and Doorstep Greens have won numerous Green Pennant Awards.
The Royal Mail celebrated the Millennium Green project in its People and Places stamps in the Millennium Collection in 2000.
