沃尔索尔市议会因在预算削减 2000 万英镑的情况下花费 35,000 英镑购买两座纪念伊丽莎白二世女王的柯基犬雕像而受到审查。 Walsall Council is under scrutiny for spending £35,000 on two corgi statues honoring Queen Elizabeth II amid a £20 million budget cut. 这些雕像在沃尔索尔植物园成立 150 周年之际揭幕，引发了不同的反应。 Unveiled at Walsall Arboretum's 150th anniversary, the statues have sparked mixed reactions. 批评者争论基金可以解决地方紧迫问题,如坑洞和反社会行为,特别是在最近理事会税收增加之后。 Critics argue funds could address urgent local issues like potholes and anti-social behavior, especially following a recent council tax increase. 然而,支持者认为这些雕像是能够促进当地旅游业的恰当赞扬。 Supporters, however, view the statues as a fitting tribute that may boost local tourism.
