There needs to be something more than sculpture to get people to visit the place.
I don't go to Bury/Manchester/Ramsbottom....or any other place, purely to look at street art.

I dont think it would bring in lots of people no but it would have given us some publicity at least. I thought it was stupid back then but knowing more about the way funding works I think it was a mistake. I dont say that because I class Gayle as a friend these days eirher before anyone suggests it.
I like driving into town and seeing the new Tesco and train station. It makes it look modern and inviting. Coming in up blackburn road makes me want to turn round and go to blackburn.
