STATUE TO REMAIN IN PLACE
Following concerns from fans about the proposed relocating of the statue to the new museum of Liverpool, we can officially announce that it will stay in it's present position.
The museum management, in response to everyone wishing it to remain at the new site have replied, "We think the same and are delighted with the current location. Consequently we’re not moving it into the new museum."
