Dear Editor,
Your story about plans to change the iconic design of the Jolly Fisherman statue has certainly captured public attention. Given the interest, I wanted to reasure your readers that there is no health and safety legislation covering whether statues should have their arms outstretched, or not. We expect people to have a bit of common sense when it comes to identifying and managing risk - not to eliminate every minor hazard from everyday life.
Yours faithfully,
Rosi Edwards
Regional Director
