>> The Coppice is a significant part of the Regional Park and may be the centrepiece? <<

Thanks for that explanation. If, as you say, the Coppice may become the centrepiece of the Regional Park, then surely it is in everyones interest to make any sculptural Landmark placed there as visually dramatic and as artistically valuable as possible. How do you think a handful of grassed over heaps, which according to Midpennine Arts, will only be properly visible from the air, achieve this end?

You also mention The East lancashire Rapid Transit System. Perhaps you could enlighten us what will happen to this proposal, if as is expected the government's review of Railways in the north west concludes that the Blackpool/Colne Line is inefficient and should be closed?
