What should they represent? anything and everything but something with a local theme is greta
Where should they be placed? in town is best where most people can see tham or on a trail on the edge or out of town
Should we develop stronger Theatrical Links in the area? yes
Should Theatre in Hyndburn be managed by HBC or a Friends Group? friend are more in tune with whats wanted locally
Should it cater widely to other cultural groups? such as
Should we develop Themed Recreational Facilities in the area i.e. Canal Life etc.? you should make the best of what you have, and you have a lot up there
Should we develop and consolidate our local amenities like parks and garden in to areas of public art? with public art in? haven't they already?, isn't a park a piece of art already, in itself.

In our experience if you wait for any council to do anything such as streets shows or festivals you'll wait forever. Our councils pay for very little esp the borough council, most of what happens is paid for by groups raising money off public, match funding and grants.
