Shane - the council finally swung their heavy hammer and we had to move quickly to avoid costly/humiliating action. We negotiated a middle-of-the-night removal of the stag (it's huge) and now face 'problems' if any more 'ownership-declared' structures go into the estuary bed. The most aggrieved townspeople (business owners) presently are those who recognise that the driftwood art was bringing in the crowds and would have made for a rewarding summer, business-wise. They are (almost) rope-able as a result of the constant complaints that forced ES to play the heavy (generous interpretation). Sad thing is, I've seen the next 3 art-works that would have gone out onto the sands, had things played out differently, and they are wonderful. That's not to say that the story is over..
I am frantically working on a couple of potential sites. The landowner can be bribed with chocolate and trust me, everyone in and out of Riverton would be able to see them...
It would have to be especially well constructed to stand where the stag once stood. In any case, we don't like no new-fangled windy-farm hoo-dackeys in these here parts, so take your high fallutin' ideas back to the big city Mr Fancy-pants!

He's been retired to a quiet paddock now, victim of constant complaint.

Sweeet! (chocolate and plan)
So if I put a windfarm there I might have to take it down?

Your complaint duly noted, mr Guyton.
