Mayor Boris Johnson calls on Londoners to vote to 'Help a London Park'
25-11-2008 618
The Mayor of London is today (Tuesday 25th November) launching a scheme to makeover ten of London’s parks and Londoners are being given the chance to vote to decide which ones will get a £400,000 cash boost.
47 of London’s parks, with at least one in every borough, have been selected as candidates for a cash boost to make them safer and more enjoyable. The £6 million funding will transform ten of these parks across London over the next four years through grants of up to £400,000 each. The Mayor is calling on Londoners to vote to make sure their chosen park is one of the winners. As part of this the Mayor will also award a single grant of up to £2 million to one large park for a makeover. This grant will decided by the Mayor rather than by public vote, with advice of a panel of experts.
