I HAVE to agree with your correspondents on last week's letters page (April 24).
The huge metal flowers in George Lane are more than an eyesore, they are a total embarrassment to the area.
I'd hate to bring a friend along to my local shopping area, for fear they'd think I lived in a cheap area. OK, some might class me a snob, but would anyone in their right mind brag about it?
I'm all for children learning, and helping to make the community a better place to live in, but shouldn't the councillors have had a closer look at what was being produced?
There's ultimately nothing wrong with the idea of having pretty flowers, but huge metal 6ft-tall ones in the middle of a road? I think not.
Councillors, use your common sense, and don't fritter away our money. Don't forget, we're the ones with the vote.
NAME AND ADDRESS SUPPLIED.
