U Decide Event Results

There was a good turn-out at Chorlton Leisure Centre for this event, choosing projects to obtain grants to enhance our Chorlton Ward community. This was held on 17th November with our new Ward Regeneration Officer, Kirsteen Armitage. All the applicants were given the opportunity to display their suggestions on a stall and each gave a two minute presentation on why their project should be chosen.
The two minutes went by very quickly, but Cracking Good Food had prepared a four part demonstration and discussion by their aproned cooks which went down very well and made them favourites as they got most support.
In no particular order, the chosen 11 were –
 Cracking Good Food
 Chorlton Big Green Festival
 C4 Café Club
 Digital Arts & Music
 Garden Share
 Friends of Beech Road Park Cherry Trees
 Jump – Waters Edge Arts Project
 Nam-Bee-Pam-Bee
 Pop Up Farm
 Tagpassiton
 Unity Toy Box
The Beech Pub Band entertained us with Folk Music and local children sang for us enthusiastically as a buffet was served and votes counted. The Friends of Beech Road Park are looking forward to choosing and planting the two replacement cherry trees with the help of local school children as soon as we get the grant, get the trees delivered and the ground made ready for planting.
