Rejected petition stop councils squandering on art projects, while people still live in poverty!

More details

While there are food banks on the rise, poverty on the rise and a general time of austerity and penny pinching, why oh why are local councils spending millions on silly art projects? There may be a place for them, however, I think in times of need, why not place starving, raggedly dressed children around the base of these statues, and see where the real assistance is required.

STOP local governments spending on unnecessary projects until poverty in the united kingdom has been abolished. I pay my taxes for the benefit of my fellow countrymen and the human race beyond them.
