so what is your take on these?
an artist or maybe prankster decided to add his or her comments to city benches in Chester,
but the messages do have a serious side,
the artist/prankster aim to raise awareness about a proposed
Public Space Protection Order (PSPO) which the council want to use to ban
homeless people from hanging around in the city centre,
the response from the city council, officials removed the
plaques after saying some people could be "offended" by
them, the council have not found the plaques as amusing as locals have,
and have already taken them down, Maria Byrne, head of place operations for
Chester Council, said
removing the "offensive" pranks have put pressure on vital
funds, Mrs Byrne said: "We have removed the plaques from the
benches and although they may appear humorous, some people may find them offensive and it has cost the Council taxpayer money for officers to locate and
remove them, if anyone knows who is responsible we would like to hear from
them', so I am guessing the hunt is on as Mrs. Byrne spends more precious funds to
find out who the culprit is.
