Vote for Stourport Canal Basins
Restoration of Stourport’s Canal Basins is one of only 10 projects to make it through to the semi-finals in the Best Heritage Project category of the National Lottery Awards, an annual search to find the UK’s favourite Lottery-funded projects. Chris Bailey, of British Waterways Restoration of Stourport’s Canal Basins, said: "We are thrilled to be in the semi-final of the National Lottery Awards. Our project has really benefited from Lottery funding, so it would be great for us to win an award and really showcase the difference the project has made to the area.
This year’s National Lottery Awards are supported by television and radio presenter, Jackie Brambles. She said: “Lottery players raise £25 million every week for good causes and this year marks 15 years since the lottery began. The National Lottery Awards recognise the amazing talent and hard work of the people involved in running Lottery-funded projects. Please get behind your local projects and vote so that they get the credit and thanks they deserve.”
Voting for the semi-finals started on 22nd June 2009 and ends at midday on Friday 10th July 2009.
