DECISION WILL MEAN "BORING" COPPICE WILL BE UP TO DATE IN THE 21ST CENTURY
panoptiocon favourites ALL given the green light
"Now there will be something for everyone"
Accrington's Coppice is set to become the most cluttered hill in Europe.Sick of the bickering over plans to erect a panopticon on the summit,HBC has granted planning permission to ALL the suggested schemes.
This means that the "High Form" design of earthwork in concentric circles,revealed last week,will be joined by the previously rejected flying saucer and the Hollywood -style Welcome to Accrington sign.
And plans suggested by Observer readers such as a giant football,an Accrington Pals memorial and a Mount Rushmore style rockface with pictures of leading councillors will also be given the go-ahead.
Organisers from Mid- Pennine Arts were delighted with the news
A spokesman said
" Coppice has always been a rather boring hill with just some grass and a few trees attracting a bit of wildlife.The only trouble is that Coppice is on rather a steep slope.We're hoping to install a ski lift to get people up there but if we could find some way of flattening the hill we would be able to attract even more tourists."
A Council spokesman said the finance should not be problem,he explained "We
have managed to divert some funding from OAP's and pensioners charities so council tax should rise no more than 10%.
It is hoped all the structures will have been erected by exactly a year today,1st April.
Enjoy!
