A statement from the Fine Art Restoration Company, which has been appointed by Boss & Co. to look after the artwork, said: “The owners recognise the cultural significance of the goat, a piece by the renowned British artist Banksy, and appreciate the community’s interest in and affection for the artwork.”
Planning permission was already in place for the improvement works prior to Banksy leaving his mark on it, according to the statement.
They said the removal and conservation was carried out by “specialist art conservators with with expertise in preserving street art”.
