“It’s outrageous”: Harry Kane’s neighborhood bar makes a public appeal to the council regarding an abandoned £15,000 statue.

Walthamstow’s Harry Kane’s local bar has requested a bronze statue of the England captain from the local council.

The statue was commissioned five years ago, but Waltham Forest Council in east London has been unable to locate a suitable place for it, so it has stayed in storage.

The £1O,200 sculpture was finished in 2020, but plans to install it near Chingford’s Overground train station were rejected due to concerns about damage by opposing football supporters.

The Bayern Munich striker’s representative expressed his “huge excitement” about the statue and expressed hopes that a spot will be identified shortly.

The Bell in Walthamstow, run by Stonegate Group and We Love Sport, may be that spot. They are utilizing social media to assist convince Waltham Forest Council to move the statue “home.”

They think the portrayal of their hometown boy will appeal to spectators who get to sip on a refreshing beer while observing football aristocracy.

The Bell penned an open letter in an Instagram picture on Friday that said, “Dear Waltham Forest Council, Today, we noticed something.

“There’s this monument in storage that’s been overlooked by thousands of people and left neglected.

The public’s prolonged deprivation of an appropriate homage to England’s all-time greatest goal scorer is, in our opinion, outrageous. However, we believe we have a fix.

Imagine our bar, The Bell, in Walthamstow, Harry’s birthplace, adorned with a bronze statue of the man himself, commanding a tremendous presence.

Maybe over a pint, let’s talk about how we can make this happen.

We anticipate speaking with you. Sincerely, We Love Sport.

The Bell’s bold attempt to make good use of the statue, which was funded by a fund designated for “local initiatives, projects or improvements” that council members in each of the borough’s 22 wards divide out, has not yet received a response from Waltham Forest Council.

The Big Issue asserts that Sculpture Machine, a Rugby-based business, sent the statue’s photos to Waltham Forest Council.
