The locals basically went to a meeting and said, no way in hell you're putting a statue on our lovely land!
That's the power of public opinion. As the old saying goes, if you want something done, do it yourself!!

You're right. If you were all so against it why weren't you more vocal? I was at the meeting and all I heard was applause and people saying how something like this was needed. I heard lots of people saying how it had really opened their eyes to the scheme and depending on the actual finished design they were in favour of it. It's all right mouthing off on a site like this when no one knows who's who but you should have had your voice heard. It obviously wasn't a fait accompli or they wouldn't have listened to the people in Ribble Valley.
