Giant 30ft gold naked statue with 'unmissable features' towed away leaving locals 'devastated'
Residents have been left 'gutted' after a 30ft golden statue of a naked man that 'brought Hollywood to Ince' was suddenly taken down.
Five years ago he was erected outside Titan Flooring Specialists in Wigan before living in the car park outside furniture store Bulldog Forge in Darlington Street East, Ince, since last year. But it has been towed following a planning permission dispute.The huge figure's owner told the Manchester Evening New s it's now in storage to protect it from the long and cold winter.
Speaking to the M.E.N., Coun Gerrard said he thought the statue was 'art', and that there was 'nothing really offensive about it'. "Life's hard enough as it is at the minute, now even a little bit of fun to make you giggle has disappeared. Shame on Wigan Council."
