Everyone seems thrilled that the Panopticon has been dropped but what is a large scale sculptural landmark if it is not a Panopticon? Sounds to me like everyone is getting strung up about a name. And now you are going to be conned by the council who says 'you're not getting a Panopticon, but instead you're going to get a large scale sculptural landmark'.

However, having said that it's probably all immaterial anyway because from what I understand if it's not a 'Panopticon' all the funding from outside sources will disappear. So, this is the second con from your council - when it all goes astray they will blame the funders, NWDA and ELP (now known as LEP - Lancashire Economic Partnership by the way) and MPA for failing to deliver and not themselves.
