Is £3500 of tax payers money worth it for a carving?
Bee in their bonnets: Beehive carving removed from park after complaints it was 'too rude'
The artwork was designed to stand next to a children's play area in a park but council staff were ordered to take it down just days after it was unveiled. Award-winning sculptor Thompson Dagnall - who was paid around £3,500 for the work - said a Tameside council boss

What the flipperty-jib has this got to do with house prices? I like a bit of mental gymnastics but even I can’t make this one relevant other than some very tenuous council tax link. But even at that what would £3,500 add up to across the burgh in question per household as a reduction.
Just the Wail with another pointless bee in it’s bonnet. Boom boom. Available for children’s parties.

fubar how many 1000’s of these “art” things are paid for by councils and money wasted which tax payers have to fund and increase costs to taxpayers the whole cycle effects house prices and spending power

If taxpayer spending on ‘art’ was reduced to zero for a few years, until the deficit was cleared and the economy was growing again, I don’t think we’d be any the poorer, and some self-styled ‘artists’ would doubtless have found a proper job..

@3 That’s a great idea. It’ll only take us until the sun explodes to do that.
