This is an example of an expanding town that is on the opposite side of the local canal to its towpath and thus is isolated from it. The proposed bridge over the canal will not only link existing residents and new developments to the towpath which stretches out into the countryside but will also create a largely traffic free route to the station and to the town centre making connections which have been impossible up to now.


"This is a great honour; I love the thought of becoming part of the landscape alongside Dick Wagstaff and the great Richard Burton. I'm hoping that my sculpture might be able to persuade Burton's sculpture to quote some poetry of an evening, or at least a bit of War of the Worlds." Rob Brydon
