I don't imagine that people travel around the country just to look at these sculptures.....I am pretty sure that the town would have to have some 'substance' about it to bring folk in....and then if there just happened to be an interesting piece of public art....it might get a glance.
But if we try to say that public art would bring people into the town, then we are deluding ourselves.

The one at Haslingden attracts people to it.There probably mostly local, but there making a conscious effort to visit the panopticon. Which is good.
