It may not significantly increase the number of actual people who go up the Coppice per se, although I'm sure a few extra people will visit it and then pop into the town whilst they are around. Mostly, it will attract attention to the town in a positive way and will help to promote the town to businesses and retail. Take a look at any brochures promoting Gateshead to business and they always include The Angel of the North. It is like using a shorthand description of the town.
