At the risk of testing people's 'spam patience', may I thank Richard for his posting and endorse his request for people to vote for Connect2. I had considered posting something to this group myself but Richard has gone where I feared to tread!
I have not been active for some time as my efforts have all been going into supporting Connect2, but if it wins the £50M Peoples Lottery Giveaway I shall hopefully have more time to participate. My own project in Bath is the 'Two Tunnels Greenway'. It will be a 4 mile path that will connect Bath to Midford to the south. We have a tunnel over a mile long and a 100' viaduct so we believe it will be pretty special! For more details please visit www.twotunnels.org.uk With thanks, Frank Tompson www.tompson.demon.co.uk -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Richard Fairhurst Sent: 07 December 2007 10:48 To: Talk Openstreetmap; [email protected] Subject: [Talk-GB] UK spam(ish) - vote for walking and cycle paths Hello all, I beg your indulgence in posting something UK-only which is a bit spammy. Please bear with me. A lot of OSMers have enjoyed mapping the National Cycle Network: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/ WikiProject_United_Kingdom_National_Cycle_Network and, of course, it inspired Andy A's superlative cycle map. The charity behind it, Sustrans, is bidding for £50m of lottery money for their Connect2 scheme. This will be used to build 79 new bridges, tunnels and the like for cyclists and walkers, so that people can get around more easily without driving. There are four projects bidding for the money, and the winner is to be chosen by popular vote. So if you don't feel you've typed "bridge=yes" enough recently: - vote by phone: 0870 24 24 602 (no, it's not premium rate!) - vote online: http://www.peoples50million.org.uk/ - more info: http://www.sustransconnect2.org.uk/ Since they're tracking votes by IP address and phone number, you can vote five times (home phone, work phone, mobile, home Internet, work Internet). And, of course, tell your friends. Voting closes at noon on Monday. Thanks for bearing with me, I shall now go and do some Potlatch work in penitence. :) (And I've recruited at least one new OSMer through discussing Connect2 on a cycling forum!) cheers Richard _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk-gb _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk-gb
