Very evocative work.
Conveys concisely ‘Mans’ eternal struggle to ever put anything of any visual depth or intellectual value upon its road traffic islands.
Don’t know who this Grant is but he’s taking the tax payers to the cleaners on a regular basis.

Oh for God’s sake – !!!!!!!!!

I CANNOT BELIEVE I’ve JUST READ THIS !!!!!

extract:

Councillor Steve Bentley, cabinet member for the environment said: “Unfortunately, we would have to remove the sculpture from the highway for safety reasons as it is a distraction to motorists.

What IS the problem with our pathetic councillors ! As IF we can’t drive past a damned ” ET wants to go home structure” ?? safely??

I really do think we have become such a pathetic bunch of useless wimps, that we all might as well give up all hope!

And what about all the damned markings on the EP added lately ? Chevrons, white lines, dotted lines, signs telling you how many injured last 2 years etc etc ( people injured becuase motorists were too damn busy reading signs than watching the road …)

I’d say these were far more distracting.

And again … what a pathetic bunch we’ve all become !

Lucy W – I would suggest that if that piece of artwork is distracting then T & W should remove all the monuments on roundabouts in the area – inclding the 3 guns on the roundabout at Donnington, the Minors wheel up at Madeley and the silly Pyramid monument near the town centre.

And those signs telling us how many casulties on the EP should be removed as well.

I should be a T & W councillor – that would be my workload for the rest of the year completed in one morning

Y Mab; Your talent would be wasted as a Councillor – You should be PM – VOTE Y MAB FOR PM!

Y Mab Darogan said:

7) Anyone earning over 40K per year will be taxed 50% of there earnings and people earning under 40K will no longer have to pay tax

Not a bad manifesto there Y Mab (personally I wouldn’t stop at just asylum seekers when it comes to immigration policy…).

I think your income tax policy might need a little bit of tweaking – it would mean someone earning £40,001 a year would take home half as much as someone on £20,000.

As for Cllr Bentley (remind me, which party is he with this week?), perhaps he’d like to tell us why a couple of bike wheels and a bit of bent wire on a roundabout are a dangerous distraction to motorists, but not signs saying “Available to Rent – Telford & Wrekin Council”?
