We’ll get statue no matter what
Liverpool Echo

We’ll get statue no matter what

At their peak, more than 20,000 horses worked on the streets of Liverpool. 
During World War Two, carters and their horses maintained the vital link 
between the docks and the city, keeping food and raw materials moving during 
the most difficult of times.

But by the 1950s, horsepower was largely replaced by petrol-driven wagons.

It is hoped the memorial will stand on a spot at Albert Dock.

The grand-daughter of a carter has already backed their appeal with a cash 
donation. Ellen Cullen, of Knotty Ash, donated £50 towards the statue.

Anyone who would like to make a donation should visit 
http://lwhmf.tripod.com/index.html, call 0151-259 0327 or send it to The 
Liverpool Carters Horse Monument Fund, PO Box 136, Town Row, Main Post 
Office, Liverpool L4 5W2.

Plenty of "Capital of Culture" money left over - no one has been able to 
fully
itemise what the millions were spent on.  Apart from altering traffic around 
the
city centre to cause congestion and force people to drive towards the new
shopping centre and flats no one can sell now!
The words Culture and Liverpool don't really go together when you consider 
the
gangs and lager swilling kebab munching fat people who choose not to work.

Make sure IF you donate that *ALL* the money goes towards the item and
that the people collecting do not have any interest in the manufacturing 
company.
There are far too many companies registered as a charity now to cream off
the donations and make a great living.

I assure you ALL money donated has and will go to the LWHMF and mainly by
pensioners, ex carters and people who are on very low incomes.  How much
have you donated?. Probably nothing I suspect.  However if you want to make
a donation instead of miserable, bad mind comments here is the address. Do
something positive for the city`s heritage for once in your life.
