The petition - which had 38 signatures by 1130 BST on Monday - said: "This art project is to cost an indecent amount of money (£18m) and was very poorly advertised in giving people the chance to object.

Prime Minister Gordon Brown is being petitioned to stop a proposed giant postcard gateway "icon".

The Postcard to Wales is one of three designs chosen to mark key entry points into the country, and would straddle the A550 in Flintshire.

Objectors launched a petition on the Downing Street website, claiming the 36m (118ft) tall and 76m (249ft) wide design was "hideous".

Project organisers Landmark Wales said it was aware of the petition.

A spokesman added they would be interested to see how many signatures the petition attracted.
