There will always be opinions about money better spent on 'this and that', but any feature that makes a town centre more aesthetically beautiful is money well spent. Art will always be subjective, of course, and you cannot please everyone, but something depicting our past industries (perhaps calico printing), would please me.

Don't like the idea of a soldier ... we have the war memorials dotted around Hyndburn which more than honours our heroes.
Whilst i like street sculptures,please explain how in these times its money well spent?
