Notes
 
The People’s Millions is a partnership between Big Lottery Fund and ITV, where the public help decide which local community projects get up to £50,000 of lottery funding. The voting telephone number will also be published in that day’s Daily Mirror and on the People’s Millions website.
 
Our show will be broadcast on ITV Central between 6pm and 6.30pm on Tuesday 26th November, with voting lines open between 9am and midnight on that day. Calls cost 11p from a standard lineline, and more from mobiles, and you may vote up to 10 times from one phone number.
 
The brains behind the Cycle South Brum project are Northfield Town Centre Partnership, with the help of Northfield Ecocentre and Northfield Business Improvement District (BID).
