The official unveiling of two new sculptures of Corgis outside Walsall Arboretum Visitor Centre, commemorating Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Release date ? October 4, 2024. A cash-strapped council has been slammed for spending ?35,000 of taxpayers cash on two corgi statues in tribute to Queen Elizabeth II.

Locals also pointed to the fact council tax had been raised by 4.99 per cent and said they failed to 'see the point' of the 5ft long commemorative corgi statues. Tracey Wilkins, 55, of Blakenall, Walsall, said: "I like them, but it's a bit controversial, isn't it?
