Re: The value of public funded art

A superb suggestion, but will any of the Hyndburn council back it and push it! Don't forget, it might offend certain sections of the population. PC rules!

Re: The value of public funded art

Re: The value of public funded art

Gayle, that's rather naive of you! Just because the Government awarded it doesn't mean Hyndburn HAD to spend it. If Hyndburn hadn't gone ahead and 'squandered' it(your words) on 'crochet sculptures'...
