Vote for Kennington Park

Vote for Kennington Park!

There is up to £400,000 up for grabs that could be put to work making major
improvements in Kennington Park. And all you have to do, to make sure your
park gets it, is vote!

It¹s part of the Help a London Park scheme, launched by London Mayor Boris
Johnson, to makeover ten of London¹s parks. Forty seven parks, including
Kennington Park, have been selected as candidates for a cash boost to make
them safer and more enjoyable.

Winning this vote for the money could be a major step in getting Kennington
Park up to Green Flag status, the benchmark of a good, safe park. The
Friends have already taken great strides towards this goal, not least with
the new playground, but there is still so much more to do. Resurfacing the
pathways. Landscaping. Planting. New signs. New entrances. Help us win the
vote and we can get started on it.

It¹s all within reach ­ if you vote now.

There are three ways to vote:
* Online www.london.gov.uk/parksvote

* By texting 'parks' and the post code SE11 4AS (not your own postcode) to
62967. Texts charged at standard rate.

* By post ­ call the Public Liaison Unit on 020 7983 4100 for a postal vote
form

Voting closes on Friday 30th January 2009 so vote now.

Friends' Chair Gordon Johnston urged people to vote. 'Kennington Park is the
hub of our community and is a vital asset for the many local people who
don¹t have gardens. The park is the green lung of the local area -­ this
money will breathe even more life into it.'

If you want a poster to put up in your window, school, workplace, shop or
library to publicise the campaign, you can get a pdf by emailing
friends@kenningtonpark.org

This kind of money could make a really big difference so get clicking and
texting and ask your friends to do the same ­ even if they don¹t live
locally (but remind them to use the postcode SE11 4AS or their vote will go
to their local park, not Kennington Park).
