The councillor the gargoyle is supposed to mimic said he was flattered and would like it to remain there
A fuming builder has put a giant stone gargoyle of a council leader on his roof as a bitter planning row turns ugly. Michael Thomas, 71, was furious when his plan to convert an old pizza takeaway into a three-storey, seven bedroom, house in multiple occupation , was rejected.
“It's just been quite amusing. He just started constructing without any planning permission in 2020," he said. “I reported him to enforcement and in the end, he applied, and it was refused along with his appeals. Mr Thomas found himself at the centre of legal action from Wiltshire Council after he continued building work on the Newtown property despite an enforcement notice.
In May this year, an inspector upheld the council's decision after Mr Thomas launched yet another appeal. In retaliation, Mr Thomas launched a protest against the council by attaching a banner to the scaffolding around the property.
