A row has broken out over the erection of artwork honouring Nelson Mandela at a historic Liverpool park over its possible impact on wildlife.
Later this month, a permanent memorial will be unveiled at Princes Park in Toxteth to commemorate the life and work of the former South African leader. The artwork has been commissioned by the Mandela8 organisation and is to be situated on a man made island in the grade II listed green space.
However, with work now underway on a bridge connecting the island to the rest of the park across its lake, concerns have been raised about the impact of the installation on wildlife.
