I think we've been here before - last time it was to build something further up the hill. I wonder if someone could point out exactly where HBC has given it's mandate to MPA for the latter to undertake this project? In addition, has some form of outline planning permission already been granted by HBC for the development?

If MPA has £29K to spend on a sculptured arts project in Accy, then surely the money would be far better spent on something within the town centre. How much would it cost to purchase (if it is still in private corporate hands) the Arndale Clock, restore and resite within the Market Hall? Or - failing that - surely this amount of money would buy a nice little commissioned sculpture for the town?
