I too think the ideas have been diluted by the process but there have been a lot of proposals put forward and been rejected because they've been too bold. So now we're left with the least offensive option which is now upsetting people because it's not strong or interesting enough.

As an aside, I was watching the election coverage on Thursday night and they were covering the results from Gateshead and creating a new piece of public art live on air. In the background was the millenium bridge and the sage centre. Two relatively recent investments in that town. Gateshead has turned itself around in the last ten years from being the pits of the earth to being a hugely attractive centre for arts and culture attracting 1,000s of people to visit it each year.
