Since the tory's appear to find these matters distastful .... I wondered how long before a coucillor might take a hammer and chisel to the statues there, because they big up the workers?

The entrance to the Hall is flanked by statues of miners and workers; they're the work of Nottingham artist Robert Kiddey (1900-84).
