News on Your Driffield. Your Future.

Residents are being asked for their input in helping to shape the final design of a large piece of public wall art in Driffield town centre.

‘The Big Picture’ plans to be a celebration of the heritage of Driffield and the surrounding area as well as a nod to the important features of today.

To provide inspiration for the design, a consultation took place over the summer via the Commonplace website, asking residents for their views on the most important historical and present-day features that represent Driffield.

The artist, Lewis, also spent a day at the Umbrella Plaza in June speaking to local people to hear what they feel has brought Driffield to become the place it is today and its important landmarks and features.

This feedback has helped to shape ideas for the final design and now Lewis and Driffield Town Council are asking people to submit photos of some of the most popular choices, elements of which could feature on the wall art.

Residents are being asked to submit their photographs of Driffield Canal and the crane, the Wolds, and kingfishers at Riverhead.

Other elements will be incorporated into the design using Lewis’ artistic flair.

Please submit your photographs by email to Town Clerk TownClerk@driffieldtowncouncil.gov.uk or pop them into the Driffield Town Council offices at 2-4 Market Walk by Tuesday 21st November.

Your submissions will be sent to Lewis to help him create his final design. Driffield Town Council has received a grant for ‘The Big Picture’ from the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.
