Another question, how much of the grant will be paid to the artist?
Is there a breakdown of how the grant will be spent? |
I haven't got all the facts to hand on this one so I can't say exactly but I believe it is in the region of £10k to the artist. This is not simply for his idea though. This is for his idea, workshops with local schools and for working with the project managing the build over the next two years. Anyone who does a job, which effectively he will be doing to manage the build, would expect a payment.
He will not build it with his own bare hands so the work to build it will go out to tender to approved business (approved by Hyndburn Borough Council). There are no materials being brought on or off the site so I assume that the build will literally be the labour costs involved and machine hire. I hope that a local business will receive the contract and ideally that would be the case, as I said they will certainly get the opportunity to tender for it.
