YOUdecide Decision Day May 2012

audience

The Town Hall Council Chamber hosted the sixth YOUdecide Decision Day in May 2012 - which proved to be the most popular and lively so far!

Fifteen projects presented to residents of Gosport in the audience, with some lively and heartfelt presentations from rapping, to body-popping through to poems and speeches!  The event was filmed and live-streamed so people who couldn't make it to the event were able to enjoy it.  Videos of the event and the vote count are available on youtube via our facebook page: www.facebook.com/GosportCSP

 Loud     Rapping

The scores for the projects was particularly close in some places - with only one point separating some projects!  The £12,000 YOUdecide fund was able to give money to eight projects in total, with the 8th place project receiving just over two thirds of the original amount they asked for.  All of the bidders who received funding were ecstatic, especially the Forton Footy project who received the highest score!
