"What is it going to look like in 12 months or two years after a couple of winters?"
"The concern is that the mural itself will deteriorate very substantially."
"it will be worse than it is now"
"full of objections"
Enfield Council granted retrospective planning permission for a mural on Enfield Town Library in a conservation area after more than 600 residents signed a petition calling for its removal. The mural, titled To Autumn and inspired by the John Keats poem, was co-designed by artist Albert Agwa and students from St Anne's School. The commission budget was £18,000, with £15,000 for delivery and £3,000 for community engagement and workshops. Council place shaping manager Clare Moloney apologised for the failure to seek planning approval and said a decommissioning plan would be prepared if required. Councillors raised concerns about appearance, long-term deterioration and procedural fairness; a five-year maintenance budget was allocated, with funding coming from the Community Infrastructure Levy.
