The artwork is officially staying right here in Folkestone where it belongs. I am honestly stunned by how this turned out and it is entirely because you kept the pressure on until they backed down. Let us keep an eye on things to make sure it stays safe for the …

We, the undersigned, believe that this art was a gift from the artist Banksy to the people of Folkestone and demand that Dreamland Amusements do not remove it from the town!
We call on Shepway District Council to make what ever provisions are necessary to protect this artwork and save it for the people of Folkestone.

The Godden family should hang their head in shame, they want the people of Folkestone to support thier fundraising events, but why should we when to quote "they dont care what the people of Folkestone want, if they want Folkestone support they should respect what Folkestone people want.
the biggest act of vandalism yet! if it needs removal then store it locally for us to enjoy. Selling this is wrong
To remove the Banksy thereby denying the right of citizens now and in the future the right to see it is beyond comprehension. How apt that the family selling it have chosen a firm called Bankrobber! Anabsolute tragedy for the town.
I live in London, but visit Folkestone often for its art gallerys & its Creative Quarter.. To up root a Banksy & sell it off to the highest bidder is outrageous & very selfish.. Folkestone is becoming known for its art trails, to remove this art is theft..
Taking this artwork from the town might be technically legal, but it's not moral. this artwork was clearly intended as a gift to the people of Folkestone. Dreamland must leave the artwork in the town!
The Godden family have for years benefited from the largesse of the people of East kent. Their contribution to Folkestone has been the wasteland below the Leas. It is no surprise that they continue to take from Folkestone. Their actions lie in stark contrast to De Hann who has spent so much to try and revitalise Folkestone. The Goddens should hang their heads in shame.
Lets stand together JOIN OUR march from Barclays Bank in Sandgate Road F/Stone Saturday 22 November 2014 at 2pm Act before Banksy is gone!!!

Such a shame it has been removed. So many local businesses have benefitted through the influx of visitors to the town to see it. As usual the Godden empire taking something away from the town which made them their millions in the first place.
