QUOTES
Councillor Terry Allen, Leader, Tendring District Council said:
"All of us that attended the meeting of community leaders were very impressed with the sculpture and the idea behind it. It looks to celebrate Walton's past by commemorating the lost church and also looks to boost the future of the town by providing a tourist attraction and highlighting the coastal erosion that threatens the Naze. I would urge the people of Walton to support the project."
Councillor Mick Page, Regeneration and Community Services Portfolio Holder Tendring District Council, said:
"This exciting project will help put Walton on the map and help with the protection of the Naze. The first step is to hold a public presentation in the near future so that people can see what it is about and have their say on the idea. The Town Council have kindly agreed to set this up and details will be published soon. There will be a lot of work ahead to make the vision a reality but I'm sure that the people of the town will rally round to continue the regeneration of Walton."
