The Lost Gormley Men and Women

This is a reoccuring issue and one that has recently become a real problem again:

Anthony Gormley’s ‘Another Place’ has over the years brought many visitors into the area. More recently, however, the statues have been so successful that visiting motorists have been getting lost trying to get to them through impossible routes and ending up in Hightown, Crosby and Thornton.

This wave of unnecessary traffic through residential areas has caused Lib Dem activist James Ludley to champion the introduction of clearer signposting to ‘Another Place’. James Ludley told FOCUS: “By making the directions to the Gormley statues clearer it will allow new visitors to our area to navigate their way back easier, which in turn should allow a greater balance between the attraction itself and the benefits to local businesses in Crosby and along Bridge Road.”
