We, the undersigned, petition the Prime Minister to prevent Lichfield Council removing the verdigris from the memorial statue of Captain Smith, the Master of the Titanic, in Lichfield’s Beacon Park.
Lichfield Council propose renovating the statue of Captain Smith in Beacon Park by removing the natural verdigris that has built up over the years, restoring the statue to its original bronze finish.
This is an act of artistic vandalism. Bronze statues are meant to mellow with age.
