Walsall Council, which is aiming to save £20m this year and has raised council tax by 4.99 per cent, spent a whopping £35,000 on the sculptures. People criticised the Council's decision to spend a five-figure sum on the installation incorporating water bowls for dogs. One woman on Facebook wrote: 'I could perhaps understand a statue of the late Queen, but her dogs? Spending on anything like this when services are being cut is ridiculous.' And its not the first time that Royal statues have faced criticism. Here, MailOnline has put together a round up of some other monuments that have split public opinion.
