People are being asked to vote on whether a Llangollen scheme to train youngsters to properly look after their bikes should win a share of cash snatched from criminals to help pay for community safety projects.
North Wales Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) Andy Dunbobbin, North Wales Police and North Wales Police and Community Trust (PACT) are asking the people of the region to help choose which local projects will receive funding through the Your Community, Your Choice initiative.
A total £60,000 is available to support projects that make communities safer and more inclusive places for all, with the funding coming from the Office of the PCC as well as money and assets seized from criminals.
All six north Wales counties have schemes in contention for the cash boost and the half-dozen in Denbighshire include Llangollen's award-winning Drosi Bikes whose Gearing Up youth training programme supports the delivery of practical cycling and maintenance training. Its competitor schemes are in Rhyl and Ruthin.
The PCC's office says: "Taking part in the vote is easy – members of the public just need to opt for the projects they think will help their communities the most. Voting is open until midnight on Friday March 27."
* You can cast your vote via the following links in the language of your choice:
Welsh survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/N2SCGPQ
English survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/CDK6TR2
Each person is allowed to vote for their preferred project and the top three projects receiving the most votes in each county will get a share of the funding. As well as this, there is funding for the top three pan-North Wales projects. This means there will be a total of 21 winners across the region.
