£10k For York Street Sculpture (from York Press)

Now this is proof that the York City Council have lost the plot on how they spend the tax payer hard-earned cash.

Let me say firstly that I don't have a problem with art and I actually do thing that it can bring extra value to a city - look at the Super Lamb Banana in Liverpool as an example.

So why have I got problems with this one? Well here goes:-
1. At a time when services are being cut, surely the £10 could be used better (although some people think that the council care more for visitors than residents. This may be evidence of that.)
2. It looks poor - in fact almost non-existent. Street sculpture needs to make an impact.
3. It's in the wrong place. Sculpture should be put in places where lots of people can see it and then comment on it. I've live in York all my life and I don't know where the proposed site is.
