Re: A street monument/scupture in Accrington
Kate, I might have liked the shuttle....but in general I haven't seen much in the way of street art that made me think 'Wow....wouldn't that look good in Accrington'.
And the flower towers are OK I suppose, they are detracted from by the shoddy state of the resin floor covering on Broadway. I know the flower towers are dotted about the borough.....but those on Broadway make me think of a lady who has put on lipstick without first washing her face.
The fabric of the infrastructure of the town needs to be worked on.......foundations need to be laid before you can really start to add decorations.
I am not saying don't have public art.......what I am saying is make sure the priorities are dealt with beforespending great sums of money on stuff that isn't essential. (haven't we been here before? A couple of times?)
