The psychedelic dinosaur, which lights up at night, towers over the town
The giant head of a T-Rex has caused uproar in a picturesque seaside village after it appeared bursting from a roof in the heart of a conservation area.
Residents have until next month to voice their views before the council decides if the dinosaur, which has been nicknamed by supporters as “Plannerwhosaurus Wrecks”, should be consigned to the history books along with its prehistoric ancestors. Top news stories today Jake Westlake, the artist behind the psychedelic design, said: “People have to go out of their way to take their kids to see it. It just adds a bit of colour and vibrancy to the place.Shane George, 59, whose property looks directly on to the roaring dinosaur head, however, said: “I hate it. Someone else summed it up perfectly when they said ‘what was an eyesore of a building has been made even worse’.
“Tacky”, “ugly”, “vulgar” and “monstrosity” were also used by opponents to describe the 6ft-plus structure. And it is not just locals who have weighed in on the debate. Another supporter said: “I like it, it's quirky and a bit of fun”, while one said: “It's brilliant and totally improves the building and brings so much joy to everyone who sees it.”
