Plans for a ‘landmark’ sculpture and other artistic additions in Picket Twenty have been submitted for consideration. The application, put forward by Test Valley Borough Council’s own arts officer, Faye Perkins, is primarily for a 9.7 metre ‘torch’ sculpture inspired by the Olympic tradition.
I thought councils were strapped for cash? Clearly not, if they can afford Arts Officers!
And did no one tell her the UK Olympics were in 2012?
In addition, the authority is looking to install a series of ‘hoop’ sculptures in the Picket Twenty play area.The colourful hoop arches would range in height up to 2.8 metres and be installed in the green spaces, in particular Picket Twenty Play Park and Turnpike Road Play Park. They are said to represent the fun of children’s games, as well as sports where hoops are used for physical fitness and rhythmic gymnastics.
And how much is that going to cost the Andover ratepayers?
