Has anyone considered installing some neon art on the derelict buildings on Princess Road?
ReplyDeleteWow! LOVE idea of neon art! Lets have this PLEASE!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is for the person who lives on Hartington Street with all the lovely lights in the yard at nights. I saw you lights from my friends window. You yard looks like fairy land at night. Good on you, who ever you are for putting smiles on my kids faces when they saw the lights changing colour.

ReplyDeleteThe garden on the bus depot site is a lovely idea! I do hope we will be able to go in! Maybe someone could make some seating because it would be nice to be able to sit among the trees and I am sure the older residents would enjoy having a little place to sit oitside on warm days. Its wonderful that something so pretty is growing up on that big empty space. The trees will be lovely when they grow!
ReplyDeleteIt would be nice to have a sculpture on the site of the 'meanwhile garden', something that comments on the theme of enclosure, as it does resemble a large pen. I am thinking a couple of large chickens, maybe a few metres high, fashioned from scrap metal, in the style of Ray Harryhausen. It would be good if they were able to move and maybe even cluck and lay large metallic eggs.
ReplyDeleteLots of people cant get to meetings because like me they work evenings or they are single parents who cant leave children or are elderly or disabled. Some people work all day and have not been home for long and the last thing they want is to go to meetings. This was some of the reasons the previous residents association fell apart. The people who went to the meetings were all happy to be involved in theory but when it came to stepping up and actually getting involved, they were suddenly busy or had other things to do. That assoc organsed all sorts. Neighbours days, mini carnivals in broadfeild road park, christmas/winter fayres, also in that park. The commitee worked and worked but in the end couldn't do it without extra help and 'retired' no one wanted to take over as they all wanted everything handed to them for nothing without having to actually put themselves out. In the begining and for the first 2-3 years they used to get 50-70 people at the meetings, but as they started to get asked to do more events which were organised, but the volunteers made excuses not to turn up and the commitee changed over. This happened a few times until people realised that the ones going to the meetings wanted everything done for them. They would not help themselves or get involved in events. Always plenty of enthusiasm at meetings but on the day, they made excuses and didn't turn up to help.
ReplyDeleteA nice idea for an installation sculpture would be a gigantic Chuppa Chup - several metres high, sticking out of the roof of one of the houses on or near Infusion Homes. As such images are used as icons on some internet mapping services, it would be a playful and ironic twist on the theme of the area now "being on the map".
ReplyDeleteLove it! Or a giant 'peg man' from the maps website!
