A masterplan is in place for the future expansion of the Port and the various development sites along West Street and West Quay Road are starting to be planned and delivered. In time these sites will provide thousands of new homes, leisure opportunities and new jobs for local people. The aspiration is that this area will be a pleasant and inviting place that people want to use. - Lot 1 The Borough of Poole wishes to engage an experienced artist / studio to produce two major, 'gateway' artworks, to create a sense of arrival and departure at the south-eat and north-west points of the Townside Access site in Poole. - Lot 2 The Borough of Poole seeks an experienced artist / studio or creative collaboration for this dual commission, leading to the creation of imaginative, site-specific interventions. The first part of this brief has a strong socially-engaged component and focuses on enhanced way-finding around the Townside Access site in Poole.
