The village is split, but the neighborhood hero who saved 250 children out of the water, there is strong opposition to the monument, although it is also meant to honor their efforts.
– winning design that will share Sørbråten in two a score of 3-4 meters, has angered many. There are many neighbors who thinks this is a brutal treatment of a natural pearl. Expectations were enough to get a somewhat more peaceful and more low-key expression, said Gomnæs NTB before the meeting.
Project Jørn Mortensen in Public Art (KORO) said before the meeting that if the plan is sent back to the Public Construction it will mean delays.
