Community Art
The Project is designed to encompass the whole Community of the town and surrounding area and be open to involvement from everyone whether child, adult, individual, community group or business.
It is based on Fun and Enjoyment with maximum participation.
A major feature of the idea is for regular local competitions.
Many other towns and cities have decorated bollards but it is understood that this Project is unique in its level of community involvement.
A Winning Entry for Whitchurch
The Project was entered into the Whitchurch Community Art Project, part of the Town Centre Improvements Project, funded by SEEDA (South East England Development Agency).
Earlier in 2009 it was selected as the 'Winning Entry'.
On October 20th 2009 the Project was given the Green Light. Submit those ideas now...
