Our neighbour from Thornhill Square, Aron C, passed this on – a way you can help support a local initiative to obtain funds from the National Lottery to further this project.You can register to vote for National Lottery funds that will pay for new walking and cycling routes in Islington. Do this by either clicking the following link and entering your name and address in the little blue form on the RHS of the screen http://www.sustransconnect2.org.uk/schemes/project_detail.php?id=52 ), or texting ‘Connect2’ to 80010 (only used to text you back a number for voting).
Why bother?
Several projects are competing for a single grant. The winning project will be decided by a public vote on television in December 2007 – if you register as directed above, you will be updated as to when and how to participate.
