I'd like to know precisely how this £300,000 was made available. I read that it's from the European Regional Development Fund and Barratt Homes so the UK is paying millions into the EU and some of it is being paid out in sums of £100,000s for totally pointless arts projects on roundabouts. What about the Barratt Homes contribution? Match funding presumably or is it S106 money that is being frittered away?
What a stupid place for a sculpture, on a roundabout where no one can get close to it or walk round it - it should be named Burrow's Folly; a totally misguided application of public money. CBC should concentrate more on the problems facing the town, not tarting it up.
