VOTE NOW for Marsh Lane, Leyton to win funding from The Mayor of London. Be sure to email the URL to your friends and family. Voting ends on 5pm, 30 January 2009
If the funding is awarded to Marsh Lane, it will be used to install new play equipment, renovate the sports pavilion, improve security and put in new paths, a bridge and signs.
The cash will also be used for improving grassland habitats, developing a wild flower meadow, planting native trees, building nesting boxes for birds, bats and insects and putting in place log piles and compost heaps to help encourage wildlife diversity.
Your votes count!
