Lucy Bronze statue for Northumberland

Let's celebrate Northumberland's Lioness Lucy Bronze with a statue in her home town to celebrate her success in the 2023 World Cup

Why is this important?

England haven't reached a World Cup final since 1966 - in 2023, the Lionesses broke this streak by storming into the final in Australia.
Lucy Bronze and her teammates have inspired the whole country, and shown young girls there's a place for them on the national sporting stage.
Northumberland has form for celebrating its World Cup heroes - a statue of Jack Charlton has recently been unveiled in Ashington. Let's show our love and support for women's football by giving Lucy Bronze the same honour in Alnwick, and show how much things have changed for women's sport since the days when Lucy had to travel to Blyth to find a girl's football team to play at because Alnwick had no team for her.
