1st Bus Stop Poem Installed

Following several hours of whizzing angle-grinders and hammer drills, the dust settled in/on Oakfield outside Premier Stores to reveal the first poem to be installed as part of the Bus Stop Poems scheme. The project has been made possible by Arts & Business. The ode, written by Clea Barton, details all the wonderful things to be found in Oakfield, leaving one in little doubt that it is unnecessary, even foolhardy to venture elswhere. While this is probably a bit off-message with respect to its public transport sponsors Southern Vectis, it did seem to have the approval of those waiting at the stop. There are nine more bronze plaques to be installed around the Island.
