Businessman Albert Murphy, Conservative councillor for Avonmouth, said he was using his own cherry picker to clean the Park Street work.
"The council won't do it because they haven't got the facilities to do it and we have.
"We're going to remove the biodegradable paint first and then it can be cleaned off with soapy water and then we'll start on the picture.
"I'll do it myself, there's no cost to the council whatsoever."
Businessman Albert Murphy, offering to clean up a graffiti artist's mural? A Conservative councillor, agreeing to pay for the clean-up out of his own pocket? I knew that the people (and the council) of Bristol had embraced his work, but that's really something.
And how did he know it was biodegradable paint? Sounds fishy to me...
