VOTE – to spend your money
The public are being urged to vote for their favourite equestrian project in the Lottery Fund's - The People's £50 million Lottery Giveaway.
Four projects — three of which have an equestrian element — have been chosen to go forward to a public vote to win the £50 million.
1. The Eden Project - with plans for a new iconic building (aka. money generating tourist attraction)
2. Sustrans Connect 2 - which includes bridging a gap to connect bridle paths.
3. Sherwood: the Living Legend - which plans to create 95km of new routes for riders in the ancient forest.
4. Black Country as an Urban Park with a plan for a new 12-mile cycle and bridle path, connecting Walsall and Sandwell town centres.
Telephone and internet voting closes at noon on the 10th December.
I know which one's already got my vote (Sherwood). Definitely not the Eden Project which has turned into a multi-million pound tourist attraction. Who wants to give £50 million to increase their profits?
