Residents furious as 12ft coffee mug ‘eyesore’ put up outside local pub
The Metro says: Pub bosses have sparked a row in a historic cathedral city after installing a ‘horrendous’ 12ft coffee mug next to the Victorian property.
Members of the family-owned The High Flyer pub near the centre of pretty Ely, in Cambridgeshire, have erected the giant white mug to promote the opening of a cafe on its premises.
But the large installation in the city’s conservation area has sparked a furious response from locals — although the landlords have dismissed it as a ‘storm in a teacup’.
Within hours of it being erected, council planning officers said they received complaints from members of the public and are now launching their own investigation.
