YOUth Decide! the vote

Please see poster and survey monkey link for young people to vote on three awards of up to £1000 in Inverleith.

We had a massive response of ideas from young folk and were helped in the working of the top ten choices to vote for by a young people themselves who designed an algorithm that awarded points for all the boxes each idea ticked.

And the top ten ideas for voting were (in no particular order):

1.Nets on the goalposts in Drylaw / Telford Park
2.Bouncy castle in Drylaw / Telford Park
3.A sheltered area in Drylaw / Telford Park
4.Exercise / assault course area in Drylaw Park – (May be possible for parks Dept to do this with contribution)
5.Trips – (Theme Park, Adventure golf, Ryse Trampoline, Light Water Valley, Thorpe park)
6.A Relax Zone in Stockbridge Library – books, tv, computer, rest area
7.A fair/event to bring young / old people together (eg tree planting)
8.Sports kit (Rugby / Football / Scarves and banners / Coaches uniform)
9.More sporting and leisure activities in Inverleith Park (eg tightrope, cross country, yoga, trampolining)
10.Charity run/cycle

The link to vote can be found by clicking http://www.edinburghnp.org.uk/media/18320/YOUth%20Decide!%20the%20vote.pdf

Please Note: This vote is open to all young folk aged twelve (P7) or older who either live or attend a school within the Inverleith area.

It’s a short voting window so if you could pass out the information and link to any young folk you work with this would be fab!
