cant argue with that all i am going to say is iem just glad it isnt our money paying for it , what folk do with their own money is up to them

incidently how much does it cost these days to ensure planning permision

It is most definitely in Burnley. You may have a Crow Wood in Blackburn but there's one in Burnley.

Thank you Doug, I got ambushed by the radio because the Telegraph printed the story this morning because they'd read the planning reports. I am really worried that by printing this they are raising expectations and if it fails planning permission we'll get hammered again.

I really don't like this defeatist attitude that if you build something it's always going to be destroyed. If you give in to that attitude then nothing would ever be achieved. You have to keep building and creating new things and showing the 'dingles' that they can't beat us.

I don't know i'm just going off what it says on the bbc website it says Blackburn. I live in Ossy so not to sure. My mum did say she thought it was in Blackburn. Oh well, my bad. If i'm wrong i apologise and take it back.

Flippin' BBC - I've emailed them to correct it. It is definitely in Burnley.

So Auntie Beeb cant read a map either.

Must remember that when they go on about the lack of education in teens again.

Another fully paid up member of the 'woolly hat' brigade, Serena de la Hey, a plastic name and another plastic idea, who in their right mind would name anyone 'Serena of the Hill'. "this 'sculpture' comprising of willow woven into steel will stand on a hill", in my opinion it should be sunk in 100ft of salt water to be enjoyed by the creatures of the deep. If anyone can show me how to weave willow into steel maybe one will believe it!

The plot thickens order a bleedin statue and can't make your mind up where to put it, or where it was supposed to be going. Put's one in mind of a horse designed by a committee, they created a 'camel'.

The sculpture is subject to planning permission but, if built, it could stand near to Crow's Wood in Burnley.

Gayle · 30-11-2006, 20:28

Wow, that was fast action - well done the BBC for changing it quickly to the correct place.

Not like when everyone told Hyndburnlite what was wrong with their site - they still haven't fixed it!

There has been absolutely no indecision about where to put it. We were asked to commission it by the owners of the land so it's always been going on their land IN BURNLEY!
