I WAS delighted to see the new sculpture on the roundabout at Erith unlike Valerie Wilton, (Monstrous' Sculpture Looks Like Child's Work, News Shopper, August 23).

I think it is a beautiful and tasteful piece of art and shows a respect for the people of Erith and their history.

For a long time I have had little time for our council, so being a member of an old Erith family I am happy the council has, for once, shown the people of Erith do count.

I hope any future projects planned for the area will be as well thought out.
