Residents are rallying to demand that the council topple the T-Rex model which was put up by Ben Maddocks, 50, outside his gaff in
Knowle West, Bristol.
“Why on earth can’t he plant a bed of daffs (daffodils) in his front garden, like anyone else would?" one neighbour asked.
“Even a few garden gnomes would look better.
“I mean, let’s be honest, it’s not really appropriate for a garden in Bristol.”
A second local claimed the creature has terrified children walking past Ben's home and believes it should be taken down.
They said: “The dinosaur is bad enough, but the massive, bright blue shipping container it is standing on, which more than doubles its height, is an absolute eyesore.
“It casts a shadow over the street. I’ve seen little kids walk by in tears because they’ve been scared by it. Its teeth alone are almost a foot long.
“The council should make him move the container and the dinosaur. If it was a fence, it would be two metres max, or he’d be forced to remove it."
