Your Chance to Vote for Community Playground
PR 191
7 June 2006
For Immediate Release
The residents of Gorleston are being invited by the Borough Council to come and choose the design for the new children’s playground which is to be installed this summer. Plans for this new provision will be on display in Gorleston Library from 2pm Friday to 8pm Tuesday 13 June.
Play companies were asked to provide designs for a playground which will cater for children of all ages, and the Council is asking residents to come along and vote on the final design. The existing playground is to be removed, with the new one being relocated to the main entrance on Church Lane.
This playground is the latest to benefit from grants given to the Borough Council totalling £400,000 from the Big Lottery Fund, and is set to be in place by September 2006 at the latest.
Library opening times during the voting period are:
Friday: 9am – 5pm
Saturday: 9am – 4pm
Monday: 9am – 8pm
Tuesday: 9am – 8pm
Notes to editors:
Big Lottery Fund is the joint co-operating name of the New Opportunities Fund and the National Lottery Charities Board (which make grants under the name of the Community Fund). Big Lottery Fund, launched on 1 June 2004, is distributing half of all national Lottery good cause funding across the UK.
Big Lottery Fund is building on the experience and best practice of the merged bodies to simplify funding in those areas where they overlap and to ensure Lottery funding provides the best possible value for money. To date, the two merged Funds have committed more than £5 billion to initiatives with national, regional and local partners from the public, voluntary, charity and private sectors with a particular focus on disadvantage.
