When first unveiled in the market town of Farnham, Surrey, in April last year the sculptures baffled locals who likened them to Madonna s bra , a Dalek scrapyard and giant dunce hats .
A public sculpture consisting of a number of large metal cones has turned black and burnt people’s hands, residents complained during a row over planning permission. Farnham residents have criticised the £20,000 “eyesore”, complaining that the cones have burnt people’s hands in hot weather, created a “thunderous cacophony of sound” for neighbours and now turned “grey and ugly”.
Many have been left angry and ranting at the use of almost £20,000 of public money which they claim could have been used more wisely to improve nearby roads.
