We had the option of something that big and bold when we had the option of the Halo (the UFO), now Rossendale are getting all the attention for it. And I hasten to add they are not being mocked because of it one little bit. The project for six Panopticons is big, bold and ambitious in itself. They will be like a string of pearls around East Lancashire.
