IT was interesting to see the model of the new sculpture to be put on the end of Blackburn Cathedral at a wasteful cost of £100,000, paid for by Blackburn with Darwen Council regeneration funding.

Public art has always been interesting or amusing, but, surely, a £100,000 "belly button" on a cathedral is something else.
