6.6 Barnaby Air (formally redux)
Resolved: the following comment are to be feedback to Barnaby about the project
- Councillors mentioned that they had supported the project because they believed there would be community activity and consultation. It was a requirement that there would be one micro installation outside of the town centre.
- Concerns were then expressed that no detailed consultation had taken place and that councillors had not been consulted with at all.
- The committee believe that there would have been less chance of having an art installation with no destination, if the consultation had been more thorough and the project managed with consideration for all aspects from start to finish.
