A community group in Ramsgate is looking to
residents to help them secure £50,000 of funding from the People’s Millions on
26 November.
The Friends of Ellington Park is looking to
use funding from the People’s Millions to build a wildlife garden in the
western corner of the park which will include a new pond as well as shrubs,
benches and six sculptures. The garden will also include a number of bird and
bat boxes which the group is confident will encourage new species into the
park.
The Friends of Ellington Park are
encouraging everyone who cares about Ramsgate and the park to vote for their
project on 26 November. “It would be fantastic if we could get everyone in
Thanet behind this project,” said Beverley. “Ten votes on the day will only
cost £1, which is pretty good value for money when you’re talking about
securing the future of Ramsgate’s most loved park!”
The wildlife garden will be up against
another project in a televised vote on ITV Meridian East tomorrow, 26 November.
Only the project which receives the most votes on the day will receive funding.
The phone number for residents to call will be
released on the day and will be published on the People’s Million website as
well as printed in the Daily Mirror. Calls from a landline will cost 10p and
residents can vote up to ten times from the same number.
