The Council proposes to install £47,000 of large sculptures within this precious space. This concrete and ceramic structure threatens to dominate our beautifully balanced ecosystem, creating visual clutter and obstructing our accessible pathways and gardening. Such an imposition disrupts the very essence of the garden—a haven for those seeking solace, inclusivity, and a peaceful place and for our hospital patients young and old to have a moment of quiet during tough times in their lives.

We recognise the importance of art and community engagement, and we're not against the addition of sculptures but it should be open to all not tucked away in our special place, to be seen by the majority visiting the rec but sadly this proposal means it would be locked away to the public from dusk to dawn. So, to achieve our aim we propose an alternative that aligns with both the Council's goals and the community's. Just a meter away, not tucked away behind our community garden's high hedges and 8 foot gates there lies a suitable special tree lined open space, perfectly positioned to accommodate the sculptures within a new wildflower meadow.
