THE voting dates for Tesco’s Bags of Help initiative will now run from 31st October to 13th November which gives you plenty of time to vote for the Dilton Marsh playing field project which has been shortlisted to receive a possible £12,000 grant.
Rebecca Durham, a member of RAPID, a community group trying to improve the playing field said, “Having lived with an unimaginative, unsafe and underused play area for too many years, we have come together as a community to offer our help to the Parish Council to update it.
“Earlier this year we conducted a community consultation exercise and heard the views of a wide cross section of the village’s residents – improved seating on the village playing field was the one of the community’s top priorities. So this #BagsofHelp money will be spent on high quality benches and accessible picnic benches along with the provision of some shade and a new gate at the entrance to the playing field.
“Importantly these will be used by the whole cross-section of residents encouraging greater community integration in this shared space.
“If we are lucky enough to achieve £10,000 or £12,000 through the in store voting then the additional money we will be used to buy some play and recreation equipment too, perhaps creating a trim trail!
“Please vote in local Tesco stores between 31st October -13th November 2016 to help us secure the top Tesco #BagsofHelp grant.”
