It's a great piece of art and should be kept just where it is. If more kids got into art than trouble the world would be a better place

Why can one single complaint result in such heavy-handed action when petitions of tens of thousands of signatures are often ignored by councils and government?

The Koala livens up a typically normal house and livens up the look of the area and the days of the young children at the nursery. The Koala should stay and inspire others to look at ways of enhancing the local area..

Looks wonderful and should stay - you'd think the council would have more pressing things to concern them !

This is obviously not an advert but a decoration on the side of a house. Will they ban all these silly butterflies or sat. dishes ?

Why is advertising political parties in the run up to local and general elections allowed but this is not! Keep the Koala

Came across this when driving around the area and it made me smile. A grey wall wouldn't have had that effect! How this is classified as an advert is beyond me. I saw it for what it is.....a piece of artwork that brightens up an otherwise drab wall. Didn't know there was a business there. And all this because of one person complaining? How about the rest of us who see it as a positive addition? Maybe the council should make sure they get a more rounded view and not base their decisions on a single voice. That is not democracy.

I think it's pathetic that this is what it's come to in Wiltshire Council. This is gorgeous, it's no more an advertisement for the business than painting the building a bright colour would be. I think it's fun and the kids will love it. We should be supporting this local business & Artist, not dragging them through the mud.

removing this would be ridiculous. It is a piece of art - look how Bristol turned the graffiti artist Banksy into a local hero. The council should be spending their time and money on other things.

Somebody out there is having a bad day and spoiling for a grump. I feel a bit sorry for them. There energy could surely be but to better more productive use elsewhere. It would be such a shame to see this brilliant piece of ART disappear!
