Bristol city centre artwork leaves councillor ’embarrassed’

Mack said she had attended the launch of the artwork, which replaced the fountains on Centre Promenade.

“It was a beautiful painting, it’s a bit of legacy work, it’s meant to be representing Bristol,” she added. “It’s a really worthwhile project.”

Ruby Logan said she sees the mural regularly when she comes in on the bus.

“It used to be quite nice when it was originally done,” she said. “A lot of time was spent doing it and it’s really gone to rack and ruin.”

“The fountains looked better,” said another passer-by, Chris Osborne. “It’s a shame, it looks a bit of a mess at the moment.”
