Agenda item

To receive a verbal update on the progress of the Community Piano Project from the Chair/Town Clerk.

The Chair and Cllrs Collins, Enright and Aitman gave a verbal update on the art project relating to the Street Piano, which was recently undertaken in conjunction with students from Abingdon & Witney College.

Members discussed the proposed designs from the college students - which had been reduced to four final options - and agreed to proceed with the “planets and flowers design”. They discussed potential sites for the piano and it was suggested that the SOTA Gallery might be a suitable place. 

RESOLVED:

1.            that the verbal report be noted;

2.            that the Mayor approaches the SOTA Gallery to ask if they would be happy to have the Community Piano outside their shop and if they would store it overnight;

3.            that a trolley be purchased (preferably second hand) up to a maximum budget of £200;

4.            that the Mayor informs the College of the winning designs – planets and flowers;

5.            that the Mayor also asks the SOTA Gallery if it would display the artwork of the finalists.
