I'm indebted to reader Richard (great name!) for pointing me to our beloved council's application to place a 'dragon planter' on the new New Haine Road roundabout, due to open later this week.On perusing the details, I noticed the job title appended to the drawings said: 'Martley C of E Primary School'. Imagining this may have been a local educational establishment I was unaware off, and that they had won some design competition I was also unaware of, I popped them into the old Google-iser. Turns out they're in Worcestershire. Hmm. Still, here's another clue, the plans were drawn up by a company called Hand Made Places Ltd. Who, er, turn out to be specialists in playground equipment.
Gives a whole new meaning to the old plea 'Why don't you go and play on the motorway'!

Would it be unfair to hazard a guess that if it was made out of carpet, the job would have been given to somebody in Thanet?.
Finally a piece of artwork that celebrates the cannabis factories that have become a cornerstone of our economy.
I think Puff as he will be come known should have a giant spliff acting as a beacon welcoming any stoners from far and wide to Thanet.
Well done TDC! or should it be Thanet Deals Cannabis.
At last a magic roundabout!!
