A girl behind a bid to erect a statue of fossil hunter Mary Anning has accused officials of being dinosaurs for jeopardising the project.
Evie Swire, 13, and her mother Anya Pearson set up a charity and raised £150,000 for a tribute to the pioneer palaeontologist in her home town of Lyme Regis, Dorset.
They had hoped to unveil the 8ft statue next May
