Gavin Grey: UK correspondent on Banksy works costing taxpayers nearly £150,000
Published 2 weeks, 4 days ago
Description
It’s been revealed three artworks by street artist Banksy have cost taxpayers almost £150,000 in cleaning operations and security so far - with the cost projected to go up.
The most significant expense relates to a mural painted on the Royal Courts of Justice in September 2025, where removal efforts and security have so far cost more than £85,000.
UK correspondent Gavin Grey says there's a risk of people trying to chip the art off the walls and causing property damage.
