@Fran53308026 @cadw is considering a spot listing application to protect this work. How safe is any of our public art?

Read this comment, and sign the petition. I knew this great artist. I still know his family. Planners fuss endlessly over a heritage facade of a pretty basic house. Where’s the protection for proper art which is our heritage? https://t.co/wZ07b2mbqZ via @UKChange

Some more photos of the iconic Blue Flash site taken yesterday. It’s a large piece of land that is bound to be redeveloped in due course. Here’s @saveblueflash’s petition to save it.

I remember discussing this artwork plan with Mr Gingell about 25 years ago (when in Swalec). @saveblueflash https://t.co/3UtsBVTH5q

This is worrying. The structure was not designed to be temporary or moved. The integrity of the work needs to be maintained. This needs a proper discussion between City Council, Arts Council Wales & Welsh Gov to represent the community’s interest, not planning by press release.

@huwthomas Lovely to see this footage - just to confirm John Gingell was the winner of this award in 1994. Another reason for preserving this work.

Thanks to everyone for their support today. Our petition is closing in on 1000 signatures with wonderful statements of appreciation for this landmark and its importance to the City. More soon.

Here's the man behind the sculpture - John GIngell - on site in 1994 when his work was shortlisted in the BBC Wales Arts Awards (remember them?) @saveblueflash

[Huw Thomas MS @HuwThomasMS]

A quick update on @saveblueflash. I now understand that WPD believes the artwork is iconic - "would not like to destroy it at all, we would like to maintain it", though it may be moved to different part of the site. Council officers now engaged to protect the integrity of the art
