When a Banksy mural appeared on the side of a beauty salon in Nottingham, it was an uplifting moment.
At the time, the city was struggling with one of the highest Covid infection rates in the UK, and - as one resident put it - we needed something like this .
It is no surprise then that the sudden removal of the hula-hooping girl has not gone down well.
The piece was cut from the side of the salon in the early hours of Wednesday, having been sold to a Essex-based art collector.
