Banksy artwork before it was defaced
READING Borough Council (RBC) has expressed its huge disappointment that the Banksy artwork on Reading Goal has been defaced.
Reacting to the images this morning which appeared on the Ministry of Justice land at the vacant prison site, RBC Leader Jason Brock said: “This is obviously hugely disappointing following the initial excitement in Reading recently when Banksy’s artwork appeared.
"How anyone can somehow think this is acceptable is completely beyond me, even if this is an extension of a historic feud, as is being suggested. There is understandable anger across the town today.
