Wales Online report:

South Wales Police chiefs have been criticised for buying a £75,000 sculpture for a station in Cardiff – the biggest bill for police public art in Britain in the last five years.

Taxpayers money’ was used to pay for a 60ft high stainless steel lighthouse sculpture to sit outside the steps of the police station in Cardiff Bay.
