Local Residents Outraged After Council Spends £50k on ‘Stellar Blade’ Themed Street Art Instead of Fixing Potholes
Angry local resident Maggie Thompson, 58, has vented her fury on the Facebook group *Smithsville Community Watch* after discovering the town council blew a whopping £50,000 of taxpayer money on a massive public mural inspired by the video game ‘Stellar Blade’—while the road outside the library remains a crater-filled death trap.
“We’ve been asking for basic road repairs for years, and they give us a giant cartoon sword on a wall? This isn’t “common sense” or “art”—it’s an insult to every driver who’s had to replace a tire,” she wrote. “Who’s running this town, a bunch of gamers? Fix the potholes, not the pixels.”
The post has exploded with over 2,000 comments, with many residents demanding the council immediately refund the ‘Stellar Blade’ project and redirect funds to infrastructure. Villagers have already started a petition titled “Common Sense for Our Streets, Not Video Game Props.”
