Pick any one from the following

1. Because no one has suggested it before
2. Because there isn't anyone of note that the people of Acc want to recognise in this way
3. Because our Council is not 'into' public art of any sort
4. Because no one has got their a**e into gear and raised money for one
5. Because any that have been suggested have been rejected by the Council

I took a walk around Burnley a few weeks ago and counted 12 pieces of public art - some your traditional style sculputures of people and some a little more contemporary but none of them offensive and all of them are interesting and add colour to the streets. I agree with you Tealeaf (for once), I love most types of public art whether it's more traditional or something more controversial - quite simply they brighten the place up.
