Keep up the voting as we need to try and protect at least some of Banksy's work from redevelopment or heavy handed workmen.

It'd be a shame with all the redevolpment that is going on down there that it could be lost at some point very soon.
Saj..As for Bling bling..great piece, is it by Banksy?

The council here are getting hotter on preserving what little there is left in the city but that has still led to some horrendous mistakes in the last few months.
Thanks for voting! Keep them coming in. ;D

That Xenz is great too. There's another huge one on the front of a hairdressers in St. George, next time I'm in that part of town I'll take a pic.

If the bushes etc are growing up,wander over and take a good look up close.If your coming from Muller road end,go nder the railway bridge,past the pub (Victoria) and it's along on the left.
"The force is strong with this one!!"
Dont forget the Wilder st piece he did with Nick Walker EElus and Mr Jago..anyway back to the voting!

That land has been redundant for years, but (i think) just recently just been fenced off, if so that's worrying.

Banksy โข Mild Mild West, Street Art in Bristol, by Adamski on May 24, 2007 8:28:41 GMT 1, Design statement states: 'The existing Banksy painting on 76 Stokes Croft is retained as a feature within the Winter garden'...
It's great that they are retaining the painting, but it looks like it will be enclosed within their "winter garden" (which to give them credit, is made of glass). Still, it's unlikely to be clearly visible from the road anymore.
I suspect they had to keep it to get planning permission and have made the garden a "public space" in order to appease the council. No more massive Banksy to look at from the bus down Cheltenham road.
On a positive note, enclosing it will preserve it and keep it away from the weather...so pluses and minuses.
That's my interpretation of the plans...might have misread them though
