Leicester Riverside's GreenLife Boat project needs your votes

"Leicester Riverside's GreenLife Boat project is in the final local round of

voting to receive funding from the Community Cashback scheme being run by

the Criminal Justice Service. I have submitted a bid to fund the resources

needed to start tackling areas of the river we cannot as yet do and go out

to spread the word about keeping our rivers clean. The project will continue

to involve all members of the community as volunteers and is a common

problem that affects us all wherever we live from the main river and back

along all the watercourses which run through all the areas of the city and

beyond.

 

If we are successful in the local vote it is then put forward to a judging

panel at the CJS for final approval.

 

If you follow the link and then click on Leicestershire and Rutland.

http://cashback.cjsonline.gov.uk/

 

Click on the "Have your say" button.

 

On the list click on the "GreenLife Boat".

 

Click this title agin to insert a tick against it.

 

Then scroll to the bottom of the page and click the "Have your say" button

again to submit your vote.

 

If we are successful we will be told towards the end of September and this

would immediately give us a vital boost in tackling the litter and rubbish

in our canal and river over the years ahead.

 

Remember you can vote from work and home.

 

If you could also spread the word to get others to support this project I

would be most grateful."

would do, but I'm boycotting you, as I've been told your new dolly is narrowbeam only.

Quite right, the new dolly is for flat bottomed narrowbeams but the old dolly will still take wide beam vees (got one coming from Raynsway with a busted outdrive soon)
