Protective screens have now been installed on the Banksy artworks in Lowestoft and Oulton Broad, including on the rat - which has been covered to prevent any further damage. This will allow us time to work with specialists who may be able to restore this piece for residents and visitors to enjoy once again.

Due to its large size, work to cover the seagull on Denmark Road is still underway. Security will remain in place at this site until the work is completed.

As well as protecting the artwork from damage, the screens are made from UV stabilised polycarbonate, which will help prevent fading.

▪ Statement on damaged Banksy artwork

We are naturally appalled that someone has chosen to behave in such a selfish and mindless way given how excited we are all by the appearance of these works here on the east coast. We are, however, hopeful that this particular work can be restored, and are engaging with specialists.

Prior to confirmation that the works are genuine Banksy pieces, we had already placed an order for protective materials which will safeguard the works in Lowestoft and Oulton Broad. It is critically important that we protect the pieces with materials which are fit for purpose and we hope to complete this work shortly.

In the interim, we have also employed security patrols to visit each site and on this occasion, our patrols actually interrupted the individual defacing this work and prevented any further damage occurring. Information from this is now being passed to the police.

We are very grateful for the huge goodwill of local people who are proud of these artworks, but we would kindly ask people not to try and repair the works themselves and to please leave this to professional restorers.

it's up to us what we leave behind

Why? 🤷‍♀️.. this particular one (rat with martini) was in a great place, not disturbing residential areas… it would have also created a tourist trail on north beach up to the most Easterly point … would love to know the reason why they did this?!

It looks like one of Banksy has been painted over.
Why would anyone want to do this?.

Council pledge to restore vandalised Banksy artwork, after someone was caught in the act.
