I watched it being constructed, and have seen it there for some months but am still none the wiser. It must be modern art as it has kept me guessing, but I would like to know more.

Joint Environmental Trust – Not Quite So Joint
Good to see the ex Hathaways shop is now in a fit state to become a shop again. Looks like Connells next door is also being refurbished.
Grants from the Joint Environmental Trust (JET) can be used towards shop window improvements.
Its seems as if the Joint Environmental Trust is no longer quite so joint. It was set up as a partnership between district and town council – a way to work together to improve the town. Last year it was handed over for the town council to run. This year the leader of the district council said “We’re taking away the blanket grant to Town Council in favour of considering funding for appropriate projects on a case by case basis.“
Mud Trending
There has been talk of mud on twitter this weekend and I became very aware of mud on the dog walk today …
The area that looks like the pigs’ play puddle is the pedestrian route to Tesco from Chaunterell Way.
The route was created when Tesco first opened in the early 1980s (corrected from 70s after comment). There is a picture in the library local studies section of a bridge at the Tesco end of the path being lowered into position in 1983. Not only is the path muddy a lot of the year, but the fence is falling down.
