IT would be very easy to put public art way down the list of priorities when it comes to spending cash in the community, but that would be short-sighted.
Involving local people in eye-catching projects helps prevent neglect of public areas and instills pride in surroundings.
Bolton at Home, the council’s housing company, has used public art to aid regeneration for 10 years and its pioneering work has now been recognised.
Bolton at Home deserves our congratulations.
