Street artist Banksy has waded into the row over his latest artwork - and given a cash-strapped boys club permission to sell it. The elusive artist created 'Mobile Lovers' on a boarded-up doorway at Broad Plain and Riverside Youth Project, which needs to raise £120,000 to survive. Club boss Dennis Stinchcombe MBE thought his financial prayers had been answered - until the local council claimed ownership and put the work on display in a museum. But now, in a rare public statement, Banksy has written to Mr Stinchcombe confirming he is the owner and giving his blessing "to do what you think is right with the piece".
