      I think we should find out which grifters got paid to do this and what connections they have to the council, and then make a massive example out of the lot of them, regardless of whether or not they acted legally.

      Fuck it, money well spent. Potholes will be back next year but statues last forever.

      Gotta be honest here, if our entire budget is commited to fitting potholes, then we have to recognise we have a few issues to address like excessive car use, poor pothole fixing, dodgy contracts, among other things

      Thinking it will bring visitors into walsall arboretum… ermmm, I don’t think so 35 grand would of been spent better on so many things in that shit hole

      Eh, you need both bread and roses. £35k is one median earner’s worth of money, it’s fuck-all even at a local council level.

      The best way to spend £35k in Walsall would be on explosives and a bulldozer.

      This money didn’t come out of the roads budget.

      £35,000 is a relatively small chunk of the council’s budget and a few people might enjoy a statue commemorating the Queen.

      People are talking as though fixing potholes is the only thing that the council should be doing. I’m sure the council are spending a hell of a lot more than £35,000 on road maintainance!

      Yep, 100% the artist is connected to the council. Vote em out.

      The headline sounds bad until you realise how many potholes would be fixed by £35,000 when depending on what source you take it costs between £50 to £150 per pothole and it is estimated that the cost to fill them all in is £16bn.

      Doing the maths £35k is only 0.0002% of £16bn

      To put £35,000 in context, a single economic migrant who gets put in a hotel costs the state £43,800 for a year (average hotel cost for migrants is £120-150 a year, my figure is for £120 per night).
