Boris has just announced a competition for major funding for 10 London parks.... there are two in our local area shortlisted for votes - Mayow Park and Penge Parks.
There are three ways in which votes can be registered:
- via the website - by using the online form
- by post – persons unable to access the internet can request a postal vote form by calling the Public Liaison Unit on 020 7983 4100
- by mobile phone – text 'parks' and your full London post code to 62967. This will automatically vote for the nearest park on our shortlist to that post code in the same borough.
A picture of Mayow Park, (including FOMP members) is on the front page of South London Press today, including a huge double page spread on local parks in the centre.
You may think the weird, but it is real. It is absolutely publicity, public pressure and local support we need to get the investment - not just now but in the future, and not just for Mayow Park, but for other local parks too. But for now, let's all get behind Mayow Park. Would you prefer decisions to be taken ignoring what the community says?
