Testimonial
Carol Unwin, from Groundwork South, said: “It was a momentous occasion watching the cranes put the pieces of art in place.
“We’re delighted to have helped the community direct the artworks on this important site, and are overjoyed with the result.
“The artists responded really well to the community’s ideas, and these new sculptures - something to lift the spirit, and that everyone can be proud of.”
