Looks a bit small for £1.3m. Either that or the sculptor is a giant.

Jesus effing wept. In these times of economic hardship those St Helens councillors responsible deserve horse whipping for spending peoples hard earned council tax payments on such a folly. Shame on them.
I calculate that £1.3M would pay the annual salary for 52 teachers, 65 nurses, 40 junior doctors or 45 police officers.
Oh but I see it was on an disused mine. I wonder if that money could have been better spent easing the hardship of those retired miners with chronic health problems associated with their industry.
Absolutely disgraceful waste of tax payers money. It will be daubed with graffiti and site littered with detritis and dogs eggs within a month. It's what you expect from a New Labour council.
Apart from that, I like it.

Looks nice though doesn't it?
Not just to look at. Good old Steve in action here.
Quote Steven Broomhead, Chief Executive of the Northwest Regional Development Agency (NWDA), said: “Creating a nationally recognised landmark on this formerly underused site will make a massive contribution to transforming the image of St.Helens and Merseyside in the minds of residents, potential visitors and investors. As well as providing a landmark piece of public art, this project will see the regeneration of over six hectares of land surrounding the sculpture. Dream will be a catalyst for the recreation and leisure development of the area, drawing visitors to the site and to the surrounding area and complementing the Mersey Forest development and St.Helens Forest Park.”'"

I bet business investors looking to relocate would have appreciated business loans or a relaxation of business rates to the tune of £1.3M instead?
Anyway I had a prior dealing with the NWDA at the Xpdia wireless development centre in Cinnamon Brow. The things I could tell you about how they squandered money would make you sick. If only the people n the public sector were as good as generating income revenues as they are at spending tax revenues. |

Hasn't some (or most I would imagine) of the funding for this come from that objective 1 thing?
Quote The North West region was awarded over £1.8 billion of Structural Funds in the 2000 – 2006 programming period. These Funds were administered by the Government Office for the North West in partnership with key strategic organisations in the region and have helped create new jobs and economic prosperity within the region.'"

Granted that was up to 2006 but it's plain we get quite a bit of cash here. |

I pass it every day and it`s, let`s say, crap. But as for the money, it wouldn`t have been spent on anything else but art, so to mention hospitals ets... is futile. As for the forgotton Birchwood `Angel of the North`, that is a telephone mast that was tarted up not a work of art

I thought they sold it to Saracens so they could mark the retirement of Andy Farrell with a fitting tribute. |

I would never buy anything from Ann Summers that looked like Keiron Cunningham. |

I think St Helens Town Hall had that Anthony Gormley thing - the hundreds of ceramic figures. I love public art like this.
