Good news for Barrhead Waterworks Project…

they won!

grow wild

Below is a thank you note from one of the organisers.

Can I send a personal thank you to all of you who took time to vote for the WATER WORKS project – both pupils and staff in schools across ERC.We are very conscious that 8804 votes could only have been achieved by a lot of friends helping out. Each of the other two projects achieved just over 5000 which means … WE WON!

 We were informed yesterday that the ERC / Barrhead High project had won the £100K to allow the transformation of the old sewage works into a wild flower garden area.  Work should commence quickly and I believe they aim to have it in place by next summer – we will let you know when it is ready for visits!

 The individual messages that reached me about classes voting and seeing it on other school’s twitter sites was very encouraging – I really appreciated the support from you all.

 Many thanks

Andy
