The owner of a model village site now home a Banksy is considering replacing it with a replica to avoid theft.

Frank Newsome, owner of Merrivale Model Village in Great Yarmouth, has been removing the graffitied miniature stable overnight for security reasons.

Newsome said the park has enjoyed a 50% increase in footfall since Banksy confirmed the artwork was his. 

The artists claimed responsibility for 10 pieces of street art that appeared across East Anglia last week.

The works are located in Great Yarmouth, Gorelston and Lowestoft, three towns that have formed a collaborative City of Culture 2025 bid.
