New sculpture at Wandsworth Bridge


as Council approve plans for  borough "gateway"

Plans have been approved for the erection of two sculptures at the Wandsworth Bridge 'gateway' to the borough.

Each structure comprises a glass cone which sits on a steel and glass base and is mounted on a stone plinth. A spiral of bronze steel will curve around the structure.

The lights inside the cone will be computer-controlled so that it changes colour at low and high tides.

The planning applications committee was told on April 21 that the sculptures would provide a modern design feature in a once rundown industrial area which was changing rapidly as a result of the major development at Battersea Reach.

Hammersmith and Fulham Council will also be asked to consider a similar proposal for the north approach to the bridge.
