Arnside Artwork Benches Ideas

Arnside & Glencoyne Square - The new focal point in Southmead

Bristol City Council would like the community to be involved in the design of the artwork for the large granite benches that will be a focal point for the Public Realm improvements in Arnside Road.

We believe that as the local resident you have the ability to shape your own neighbourhood. We have talked before about using words to bring the benches to life with a local flavour, but you may have better ideas.  Please give us your ideas, suggestions and positive thoughts/memories that could become a part of artwork on the Arnside’s benches.
1.How would you describe Southmead in 3 words or a short sentence?
2.What is the most positive memory/event/person that you have experienced/know of in Southmead?
3.What would you like to see carved into the new benches on Arnside Road? 
A few large words or a short poem carved direct into the granite?
If so what words?
4.Would you like words/sentences/poems that could be set into grooves or shapes carved into the granite?
If so, what should they be?
5.Games boards and/or play shapes?
If so, what shapes would you like to see?
