Yes, we most certainly have to get something that moves us forward. One problem that I've noticed though is that the grandeur of the scheme is being diluted somewhat by the process. My personal favourite was the Hollywood sign (actually was far too expensive to build), I liked the Halo and I'm thrilled it's being built in Rossendale, it will be stunning. It's now like designing by committee trying to accommodate everyone and I'm afraid that if we go too far it will dilute the idea so much that it won't have the necessary impact.
As it stands at the moment the current design is going to be the largest earth work in the country so should attract attention because of that.
