NEW SCULPTURE COMMISSIONED FOR MARBURY COUNTRY PARK, NORTHWICH WOODLANDS

Action Weaver Valley and Cheshire County Council have embarked on a new sculpture project with artist Roger Day thanks to funding provided by local chemical manufacturer INEOS ChlorVinyls.

INEOS ChlorVinyls have funded a range of environmental art projects in Northwich Woodlands.  For this project Roger is working with community groups to design some stunning new seating for the park.  He will be using locally sourced timber which will be carved on site (weather permitting!).

The key element of the design is to ensure that the seats are suitable for use by disabled visitors.  Marbury Country Park has over three miles of easy access paths, disabled parking & toilets.  Roger is looking forward to having valued input from visitors with a range of disabilities.

Visitors will be able to take a break and appreciate the beauty of the woodlands in comfort and style.

If you would like to find out more information about this project, please contact Ann Bates, Action Weaver Valley Coordinator, e-mail a.bates@merseybasin.org.uk.
