THE key decision to support a major new piece of public art in Winchester has been taken by the city council.
The grant of £15,000 to artist Marzia Colonna will trigger the creation of the kite flyer sculptural arch for the entrance to Parchment Street from St George’s Street.
The £27,250 project was sparked by concerns among traders that their businesses were damaged when the traffic flow in Parchment Street was reversed around three years ago.
Approval for the grant was made by Councillor Fred Allgood, portfolio holder for finance and efficiency
