4 - Stick ‘em UP for the Black Country Urban Park

Archived news release from 2007

Shops, businesses and offices are being encouraged to show their support for the Black Country Urban Park as it bids to win the People’s £50 million Contest.

 

Posters, leaflets and car stickers have been sent out to organisations across the region to help get the message across that every vote counts.

 

Organisers of the Black Country bid are asking people to display the posters wherever they can and to make the four boroughs, Dudley, Sandwell, Walsall and Wolverhampton, a sea of green and white up until voting closes on 10 December.

 

 

“We have one chance to get this money.  If we don’t get it then it will go to another part of the country and we’ll miss out altogether.  If people can display a poster, leaflet or car sticker it will really make a difference to our campaign. 

 

“If you’re a shop, community group, office or business who hasn’t received a poster or leaflet and want to do something to help then give us a call on 01384 815228 and we’ll send something out straight away.”

 

 

 

 

The project Black Country Urban Park is one of four across the country short listed for a national television and website vote in The Big Lottery Fund's: The People's £50million Contest.

 

 

Black Country Urban Park includes four key elements – reopening the cathedral-sized caverns beneath Dudley; a 12-mile ‘green bridge’ park linking Walsall and West Bromwich town centres; breathe new life into Wolverhampton’s canal network; provide improved access to green places, including Cotwall End Valley, Saltwells and Buckpool, Fens Pools and Barrow Hill, in an unparalleled programme of community involvement.
