McDonald’s has come under fire from residents in Cardiff after painting over one of the town’s most-loved murals.
The artwork depicted a black woman cradling her baby bump wearing a Cardiff City football shirt to help bridge the gap between the local football club and BAME communities.
The mural was only unveiled in April last year and there’s been dismay among residents that the wall was painted over a mustard yellow colour in preparation for the McDonald’s ad.
The local MP has waded into the debate and the fast food chain has been forced into a fast u-turn, claiming that they were unaware of what was on the site prior to the new installation and revealing that they have now instructed the artist to repaint his original mural at the site.
