A pub landlord is being threatened with legal action by his “bully” council for having a giant BULL painted on the side of his 400-year-old inn.
Martin Peel paid a local artist £1,200 to have the 8ft mural emblazoned on the side of The Bull’s Head.
The artwork was finished in April and Mr Peel says it was a big hit with visitors to the pub in the pretty village of Wootton Wawen, Warks.
But last week Mr Peel, 52, received a letter from Stratford District Council saying it breached planning rules for listed properties.
The dad-of-two, who has run the 16th century pub for three years, has four weeks to paint over the giant Hereford bull or face legal action.
