'It's clever, but it's still graffiti': Bizarre artwork crops up in Bury St Edmunds

A bizarre piece of graffiti art has cropped up in Bury St Edmunds.

The artwork is near the Greene King brewery on Maynewater Lane next to a road sign.

When combined with the road sign, the graffiti reads: "There is one way to fry an egg."

Tom Murray, a Bury St Edmunds town councillor who posted an image of the graffiti on social media, said: "It's clever, but it's still graffiti, that costs money to clear up."

West Suffolk Council's website says: "Graffiti removal on private property is the responsibility of the owner.

"If your property has been defaced with graffiti, then please report this to the police by telephoning 101 as an incident of criminal damage and/or anti-social behaviour.

"The police have extensive knowledge of local tags (signatures used by graffiti artists) to identify the culprits and will likely require a photograph of the graffiti before it is removed.

"If you require financial assistance to remove the graffiti, then you should contact your insurer as this may be covered by your policy.

"The only graffiti that the council is responsible for clearing is on its own property, however if the graffiti is offensive, the council will work with the owners to remove it as quickly as possible."
