Your Gowkthrapple Participatory Budgeting Summer 2021

What is Participatory budgeting?
Participatory budgeting (PB) is a form of people participation in which people are involved in the process of deciding how money is spent locally.

These projects can be big or small and we are hosting our own small PB project here in Gowkthrapple.

Your Gowkthrapple Participatory Budgeting Summer 2021
8 groups and individuals have proposed an idea that they would like to deliver in the Gowkthrapple area.  The community (you) then vote on the 3 ideas you like the sound of the most!   Decided by the community for the community!

Anyone aged 8 or over can vote and you get 3 votes.  - Simply down load the voting slip and put a cross in the box by the 3 projects you want to vote for and add your name and address.    Remember only one vote per person.
