SADLY THE GRAND UNVEILING CEREMONY OF THE MARKET SQUARE ARTWORK HAD TO BE ABANDONED DUE TO THE HIGH WINDS, UNFORTUNATELY IT HAS ALSO BEEN BADLY DAMAGED. THE SCULPTURE WAS SURROUNDED BY A SCAFFOLD TOWER COVERED IN PLASTIC SHEETING WHICH TIPPED IN THE WIND, TWO OF THE CURVED MAIN SPARS HAVE BUCKLED SIGNIFICANTLY
IT WAS INTENDED TO RAISE THE TOWER BY CRANE, HEALTH AND SAFETY PREVENTED THE CONTRACTORS FROM REMOVING THE SHEETING
THE SCAFFOLD HAS NOW BEEN REMOVED
MORRISONS ANNOUNCED TO INVITED GUESTS THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO EXTEND THE AVAILABLE SHOPPING AREA AS THE STORE HAS EXCEEDED ALL EXPECTATIONS, THEY APPEALED TO COUNCILLOR BRYANT CHAIRMAN OF SCDC FOR SUPPORT, IT MAKES A NONSENCE OF THE DEVELOPERS CLAIMS THAT THEY NEED CAMBOURNE ENHANCED TO MARKET THE HIGH STREET SHOPS
THIS SHOWS THE LEFT SPAR WITH A MAJOR KINK IN WHAT WAS A NICE CURVED SPAR (SEE BELOW)
NOT QUITE AS BAD ON THE RIGHT HAND SPAR
THIS SHOWS ONE OF THE DELTA WINGS WITH AN EXTRA CURVE
THIS SHOWS THE APPROXIMATE LINE OF THE ORIGINAL SHAPE
