So, I'm not sure this is the appropriate place to post this sorta thing. But in our previous city of dwelling, we had a friend who would turn a party into nothing different, but the host would find a fantastic number of items now alive with googly eyes the next day.
And honestly, he was an artist at it. I still am amazed at everything that would end up with googly eyes, and also the always completely proportionate sizes of googly eyes.
I hope you are as equally impressed by how sad this article is as I was by Traz's googly eyes.

I’m a little conflicted — on the one hand, I believe that the adhesives on googly eyes might cause damage to the sculptures, but on the other hand I’ve definitely seen local councils use a reasonable-sounding excuse like this to just be a stick in the mud.
I think if I lived in that town, I’d be tempted to challenge their claims (that it’s “just because of the adhesives”) by finding a way to attach googly eyes without adhesives, for example buying a cheap headband and attaching googly eyes to the headband, and popping that on the statues instead. Apparently they don’t remove Santa hats or antlers like they’ve been removing googly eyes, so there’s at least something in favour of them not being entirely anti-fun.
That said, I could totally believe they would just shift the goalposts and suggest that googly eyes (even sans adhesives) are “not in the spirit of the artwork” or something boring like that.
I 100% refuse to believe that every single adhesive ever is a problem. If the city had said "please stop using X adhesive, here is a list of 10 safe adhesives and 5 ideas of how to decorate...

If the city had said "please stop using X adhesive, here is a list of 10 safe adhesives and 5 ideas of how to decorate without using adhesive" I'd believe them, but "dont do this because adhesive" absolutely not, that's just someone who hates their job and hates fun

When my child was doing their photography course a couple of years ago, one of the projects was to go outside, and take photographs of street furniture with strategically placed googly eyes. It was a fun project.

I think these statues have endured much more wear and tear in just the weather..?
