What a shame you can only vote on facebook. I'm sure there are a lot of folks on here who would be happy to oblige if that weren't involved.

Seems a bit daft to me, only being able to vote on facebook, but thats ossys loss in my view.

Its nothing to do with Ossy and all to do with Flora deciding to use facebook for its competition/advertising

It seems like a good idea to get a free revamp of a local play area, but when I saw it was a marketing ploy to promote artificial food, I decided not to participate.

Hardly much effort, and if it's successful, great.

Have voted 3 times-takes 2 seconds...

I think they are in the lead at the moment, I have clicked every day since I was told about it and I hope they get the money.

I was present when the young lad did his presentation on the area - he was very good.

Me as well Neil and sod the fact its being promoted by a food company at least they are trying to put something back into communities

[Neil]

Do you think? I think they are using a cheap way to get their product on many people's Facebook wall. I see it as an advertising campaign for them but I don't care if some community benefits from it.

Hi Jackie, do you know who entered West End into the competition? Have you formed a community group to apply for funding etc?

[jackie414]

Hi Neil, Think it was Lisa Allen from oswaldtwistle council, as she gave us all the details, and they are currently trying to help us fund our local park, as no-one has the funds to help at the council or lancashire council.My 12yr old son has been working alongside them as this was his campaign, he has been delivering flyers around west end, is going into tesco on sunday to give out flyers, lisa has managed to get his story onto 107 the bee/2br radio station, he has been in the lanacshire telegraph and hopefully next week back into accrington observer, so really hoping that this will work!!Not sure what the next step will be if it doesn't...

I have been voting, although I am bemused at the 'voting every day' system ?
Can someone explain this to me, please.
