Naked man' mural allowed to stay

'Guerrilla artist' Banksy's graffiti

The mural is near Bristol City Council's offices

A piece of graffiti by Bristol artist Banksy has been allowed to stay
after what the city council described as "overwhelming support" from
the public.

The stencilled image shows a woman in her underwear standing behind
a suited man leaning out of a window, and a naked man hanging onto the
ledge.

The public was invited to decide whether it should stay on the side of a building on Park Street or be removed.

An internet discussion forum showed 97% of submitters supported the work.

Many people who logged on highlighted the fact that Banksy is a
Bristolian, and that his work "brightened up" the urban environment.
