My husband and I think the statue to celebrate our late Queen is beautiful!

However, do people in this town know that it has cost EVERYONE IN ANDOVER £100,000?

This is a huge sum which could have been spent to support the poor and needy in the local community OR to reduce our Community Tax.

It's also in completely the wrong place!!!

Evidently, we are also paying for another one in Romsey. REALLY!!!!
