Campaigners installing a statue of a novelist with a cat at her feet say they have been upset by what they call "unpleasant" comments about the artwork.

Visible Women crowdfunded for a life-size bronze of Sylvia Townsend Warner to sit in Dorchester's South Street, with the cat based on Susie the cat who is well know around the shops in the town.

But messages about the cat's lack of resemblance to Susie have prompted the charity to "move away" from the connection.

Carl Ashwin spoke to Anya Pearson from Visible Women.
