Slough Borough Council in
conjunction with Slough North Action Project (for which I am the secretary) held an exclusive competition
giving a local school the chance to have their artwork embedded into a lifetime
mosaic in the Slough Baylis Memorial Park and work with award winning artist
David James to create and have their design installed at the entrance of the
park.
Over several years
Baylis and Godolphin Park has been going through significant conservation and
preservation work. This work is commissioned and funded by Slough Borough
Council and managed in partnership with the local residential community group
Slough North Action Project (SNAP).
On the 21st September at 1pm, in
honour of the United Nations International Day of Peace, we will be unveiling
the mosaic and commemorative plaque dedicated to the winning entry. On this day
the world lays down its arms, calls a cease fire and promotes a hope for peace
throughout.
The Slough festivities will include
live music and be attended by many dignitaries, the Mayor, the winning entries,
local residents, invited guests including Slough Veterans, senior council cabinet
members and officers, councillors and media representatives.
