"Two children’s projects are to get a cash handout from Burscough Parish Council. The Parish Council, at their annual assembly meeting, allowed the public to decide how £10,000 in funding should be spent through Participatory Budgeting. Over 100 people turned out to vote for the two community projects to keep children active during the summer" – Rebecca Koncienzcy, Ormskirk and Skelmersdale Advertiser (extract)
