For those that didn't read the 9-sentence (plus title/captions) article, the biggest issue is damage risk from adhesives rather than anti-fun:

The council also said that in the past other decorations like Santa hats and wreaths have been added but that this was different.

"While we don't condone the wreaths... and Santa hats, let's stay away from adhesives, graffiti and all things that can damage the art" it said on it's social post.

The council leader has explained that while they want the community to engage with the art and have fun, they also don't want things to be damaged.

So stick the googly eyes onto a headband or something first I guess?

A big wad of poster putty? That’s not good long term but the city is going to have groundskeeper Wille pull them off when he sees them.
