Tourists and locals in Derry, Northern Ireland, are disappointed after an awning installed at Badgers Bar partially obscured the iconic Derry Girls mural, which has attracted visitors since its unveiling in 2019. Although the pub received planning permission for the awning in 2022, the local council stated that this permission did not extend to the area where the mural is located. Complaints have flooded social media, with many calling the new structure an eyesore and criticizing the decision to block such a beloved artwork. Some tourists expressed regret over the limited view of the mural but acknowledged the bar's need to adapt for business. The council is currently reviewing the situation, but Badgers Bar has declined to comment on the matter. Fans of the show continue to visit, despite the obstructed view, highlighting the mural's significance to the community and its role in attracting tourism.
