In collaboration with the Scottish Sculpture Trust, the Glasgow City Council wished to commission work for a water feature sculpture to be sited at the entrance to the East End Leisure Centre in Tollcross Park. Despite securing funding for the commission and following an appropriate selection process, the work was never commissioned for this site and the award amount was never claimed. Differences of opinion, issues of vandalism and maintenance all contributed to the Council’s decision not to proceed with the project.
