Plans for a 20ft (6.4m) high steel sculpture, inspired by a village’s World War Two history, have been released for public consultation.

The work, commissioned by Eastleigh Borough Council and Hound Parish Council, would be installed at The Hard on Victoria Road in Netley Abbey – the site of a wartime radar station.

Residents of Netley Abbey are being invited to share their views on the design by London-based artist Nick Hornby.

The borough council said the work would be “a striking yet sympathetic landmark”.
