Thanks to Emma for sharing this news. Ed
Unfortunately Bembridge did not receive the highest number of public votes yesterday and were beaten by the winners Bournemouth Borough Council’s Winton Play Garden.
However we did win the best runner up prize across all projects aired during the week by ITV Meridian news and still received the full grant funding applied for £49,979.
Work will go ahead
The removal of the old cycle mound, installation of the outdoor gym equipment and new play area surfaces will commence in January and hopefully be ready for a grand opening in the spring.
Thank you to all of the volunteers who spent hours handing out leaflets and spreading the message to vote for the Steyne Park Project and to all of the residents and members of the public who voted for us. Without your commitment none of this would be possible.
