14 Allestree residents, generously put their hands in their pockets to not only raise money for a deserved charity, but to also add a talking point to the local area. The winning bid for the former Zanzibar Sultan, a cult icon in Derby, was £420, and on 15 June the glorious 14's dream came true, and the Sultan was unveiled at his new home, atop The Woodlands Pub, Allestree. Now, after received a humungous four, yes FOUR, complaints form local residents, Cllr Philip Hickson is calling for it to be taken down. Please sign this e-petition to dwarf that number, to show that you have a sense of humour, and to claim a victory for the REAL people, against the miserable moaners. Please share your opinions with @DerbySultan @PhilipHickson

The Sultan is still standing tall above the pub and he does not look like he is going anywhere soon despite the complaints. I have been busy responding to the messages of support that keep flooding in from people who just want to see a bit of joy in our neighborhood.

The groundswell of support for the Sultan has been completely overwhelming and proves just how many of us cherish our local history. It is clear that a few grumbles cannot drown out the joy this icon brings to the neighborhood.

4 complaints? Out of how many thousands of people in Derby? Ridiculous. Leave him where he is.

Absolute joke that this is even a debate. The Sultan is a legend and the pub looks better for it.
