'Commissioned following fatal stabbings in the area...the concrete column is decorated with a porcelain mosaic and a strip of Venetian glass Smalti mosaic, which runs up from the floor. The strip of Venetian glass features multi coloured Mehndi inspired patterns, which link the local Sikh, Hindu and Muslim communities. Around the base of the column are peace mosaics made by local children and a quote from Gandhi. On the top of the column is a gold pinnacle'. Gary Drostle
