Council Tax up – We’ll build a statue

On the same day the council decide that the Council Tax may indeed rise by a whopping 6%, it seems that Councillor Ricky Henderson decided to speak to the press about a new £100,000 statue to be built outside their new £50m headquarters in Market Street where parking is not going to be a problem for the Councillors.

The public art commissioning agency has now been put in charge of selecting an artist to reflect the city’s vision of “Edinburgh – Inspiring Capital“.

Artists from all over the world are expected to compete to design the landmark structure in front of the £50 million East Market Street headquarters.

Nice to know that our councillors have the citizens at heart.
