Yes, public projects need to take into account all types of public, and no, Tom just seems to not understand this. His projects that are erected for a very short term last, anything longer we have seen the results... just don't mention the B of the Bang please.

How do you get traffic to it? It offers a nice unique spin on things. I guess having something authentic or substantial to say is the most important thing.

He should by now have factored in the temptation to vandalise which so affects British Urban Youth. So many of his outdoor projects...rolling bridge, blue carpet, B of the Bang have proved irresistible to scallies who couldn't create a boiled egg without help.
