We received this update from Tesco yesterday:

Unfortunately, due to a shortage in voting equipment outside of Tesco and Groundwork’s control, it has become necessary to delay the customer voting until 31 October to 13 November (originally planned to take place 26 September to 9 October).

We have taken this step to ensure that all Tesco customers have the opportunity to vote and that every store is participating. As voting is delayed, this will regretfully mean that we will not be able to notify you of your grant award until the end of November. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause but we believe that delaying the public vote is the right course of action to take to ensure the vote’s fairness and transparency for all applicant groups concerned.

Please continue to spread the word and build support for our Playground Project until then.
