I can honestly say the money could have been better spent than using it on that statue.

The Dream is simply stunning and in a great location. It is helping to draw people to the area and raise the profile of the North West.

It is a shame that there obviously isn't a moderator of these comments, otherwise they would not have shown the two unconstructive comments by Andy and Mick!
