PROPOSALS for a wind sculpture to celebrate the Millennium are on show in Stockton as part of an environmental improvement scheme in the town.

The new feature would be sited on Stockton Riverside, near to Thistle Green and Silver Street.

Councillor Bob Cook, cabinet member for regeneration and development at Stockton Borough Council, said: "Inspiration for the feature came from the movement of wind through tree branches and water through reeds on the riverbank.

"The design is also representative of cranes, as the proposed location for the feature was once an industrial site."

A model of the proposed wind feature is on display in the Green Dragon Museum until May 14, and forms are available at the museum for people to pass on their comments.

A display can also be viewed in the reception of Municipal Buildings, Church Road, Stockton.

Subject to consultation and planning permission the feature will be erected in October.
