A SCULPTOR is returning to his home town of Darlington to create a work of art at a business park.
John Atkin has produced his initial designs for a steel sculpture at the entrance of the Morton Palms business park, on behalf of developer City and Northern.
The first two buildings on the site have been completed in a £10m development.
Mr Atkin said: "It has long been an ambition of mine to produce a significant piece of work in my home town."
He has previously picked up awards from organisations such as London's Royal College of Art.
Cath Cannon, City and Northern's marketing director, said: "John Atkin was the ideal choice for this commission and his enthusiasm for the project was outstanding."
The sculpture will be unveiled in May.
