The Eternal Wall of Answer Prayer.

From the site mentioned by Mike in the thread "Council Recovery Plans" there is a report of the monument called "The Eternal Wall of Answered Prayer” being built and located between the M6 and M42 near Coleshill in Warwickshire — close to Birmingham Airport and visible from major transport route.

The monument is planned to be about 51 metres (167 ft) tall—more than twice the height of the Angel of the North in the north of England.

This is what they say about the funding…
“Private donations & church giving. The charity says it has reached the initial £40m fundraising target from “donors across the world,” with 20,000+ supporters backing the build. The site land was donated by IM Properties (Lord Edmiston’s company), which also made a “significant” cash contribution toward construction. Alongside regular donations, they’ve run targeted crowdfunder pushes and invite corporate partners to sponsor elements. Although the monument’s build cost is covered, they’re still raising c.£5.7m for site infrastructure (car park, visitor centre, landscaping).”
I bet they charge for administration.
 
Waste of money, a waste of a site that could be used for farming, industry or housing, and a waste of materials that could be used for something useful (think of how many houses could be built with 1 million bricks)
 
The problem is that the money is coming from a private source with Evangelical sympathies, and unfortunately Edmiston the Tory Peer billionaire would argue that it is for the glory of God !
 
“North Warwickshire Borough Council’s planning committee unanimously endorsed the Eternal Wall scheme in September 2020; the Communities Secretary Robert Jenrick then gave the final sign-off. While the vote itself wasn’t split, later coverage noted concerns from some local councillors about the project’s perceived exclusivity as a Christian monument; these were commentary points rather than a recorded split vote at the committee stage.”
 
And they are probably the people objecting most strongly to their view being spoiled by HS2. Not that those objecting to HS2 do not have a point, but that their attitude in strongly supporting this eyesore, funded by a religious zealot, is completely hypocritical.
