£2,500.00

I presume 'about a quarter' of the funding came from tax payers' money here in Hyndburn, like it did for the other events?



Sorry to prejudge this 'community art' happening, but as to the artistic merit and it's worth to society, does it represent good value?

No!
See you've only just come back of hols and your already upsetting people
