A trio of sculptures costing £26,000 which residents have likened to elephant poo have been defended by the council that installed them. The "organic shapes" were installed as part of a new housing development.
They are meant to evoke the tides, with weathered bricks suggesting erosion and metal hoops tide lines. But reaction amongst the public has been mixed, with some commenters saying they resemble another kind of organic substance. The sculpture were installed outside Portslade Town Hall as part of Brighton and Hove City Council's new Victoria Road housing development.
One commenter said: "Looks like a giant elephant had made a visit."
