Ian Clark, centre manager, said: "We are exploring the opportunity to welcome an exhibition to Eastgate which could include a number of Banksy artworks. 

“At this point it is only a possibility, but everyone we have mentioned it to has been very enthusiastic.

"There is a buzz about Banksy and his work so it would not only be a treat for our regular shoppers but could also attract visitors from further afield to come to Basildon. 

“We will continue to investigate the idea with John Brandler and hope we will have positive news in due course.”
