Why is there a giant whale in Redditch?

Available for over a year

Discover the meaning behind the giant blue and white whale that's in the Worcestershire town's Kingfisher Shopping Centre. Shoppers are being encouraged do feed it their plastic bottles! Our reporter Sophie Millward hears how the sculpture, which will be installed for a year, is made from 100% recycled materials, and forms part of the centre's 'green' campaign, dubbed Waves Of Change. Nicole Vanacore, from the shopping centre, hopes the whale will act as a visual reminder that used plastic can cause problems for sea life if it gets into the oceans.
