WHAT’S IT ABOUT? Local people are planning a range of improvements to the grounds of the Broadwater Farm Community Centre by Lordship Rec, N17.

SPREAD IT! Please forward this email widely and ask everyone you know in Haringey and the UK to vote (up to 10 times)! How can you resist an appeal like that!
Can anyone explain how this differs from the big project to restore Lordship Rec which already won millions in funding a few years ago?

This is to put to use the unused grounds of Broadwater Farm community centre.
You can read about the project on their People's Millions page here but they are planning new community gardens, with local fruit and veg a scented leisure garden – and with some provision for native butterflies, birds and bees – and a Children’sOrganic Nature Garden.
Not anything to do with Lordship Rec which was about bringing a space that had fallen into disuse back into use in a part of Haringey that lacks green space.

The winner might be announced on London Tonight tonight, if you've got time to watch.
