Landmark M6 artwork is scrapped
I’m glad to see sanity prevailing:
Plans to build a landmark piece of art spanning the M6 in the Black Country have been scrapped after an £18m lottery bid was turned down.
I might have felt differently, if it had been something interesting like the angel of the north (which only cost £1m ten years ago), but fundamentally the plan was for a big shiny steel ring - I don’t think people would have been wowed they’d just have gone ‘huh?’.
