Alfie offers to paint the town red and other colours
Sculptor Alfie Bradley, best know for creating Shropshire's Knife Angel, has offered to create a mural for his home town of Oswestry.
Alfie, who recently appeared in a Sky Arts production creating a caterpillar that was on show in a Telford park, has been talking to the town's deputy mayor, Councillor Jay Moore.
Now Councillor Moore has put a motion to Wednesday's town council meeting calling on the council to consider the suggestion.
He said: “I have been in discussions with local sculptor and artist Alfie Bradley who is offering to create a large mural for us in town.
"It would appear that the side of the market hall facing the car park is the best candidate that we have available, and I believe an ideal location for footfall and visual improvement.
"He would like to do something colourful that represents the town and has offered to do this for us for just the cost of the paints. This is a fantastic
opportunity for us to have a local artist create something to really add to the first thing users of the car park see when walking into town and give users of the town centre another reason to travel towards the market. I'd like to thank Alfie for his offer to contribute some of his work to our town in this way.”
