Wildfire-hit residents remove Greenpeace mural of Burnham from scorched mountain

A group of residents in Wales removed a Greenpeace mural painted on a blackened mountainside after wildfires damaged the area.

The 1,120-sq-m anti-oil and drilling image showed Prime Minister Andy Burnham holding an oil drum and the words: 'Our house is on fire Andy'.

Greenpeace said the work was not meant to upset people but to draw attention to the escalating climate crisis.

The mural was painted in July after 200 acres of land were affected by wildfires, with North Wales Fire and Rescue Service declaring it a major incident.

A banner would have delivered Greenpeace's message just as easily, without affecting the environment, Evans said.

Evans and Rhos-on-Sea resident Dean Ward went to remove the paint, saying they were concerned about the impact on local residents who might want to visit the site.
