New CCTV cameras have been installed outside a Wetherspoon pub in Sherwood after being vandalised with graffiti tags.
The Samuel Hall, in Mansfield Road, has been daubed with spray paint twice in under a year.
The first incident happened on March 28 last year, when the pub was tagged with the words 'pay your staff', following backlash over staff pay during the coronavirus pandemic.
More recently, on January 2, the pub's window was vandalised with a bright-yellow tag which read '70,000 dead'.
On the same window is an advertisement for the pub chain's magazine, 'Wetherspoon News', in which Wetherspoon boss Tim Martin criticises the current lockdown measures.
He says the Government's handling of the pandemic and restrictions have caused "mayhem, unemployment and economic dislocation across the hospitality industry."
The graffiti tag was thought to reference the UK's coronavirus death toll at the time, which stood at around 70,000 people.
A Wetherspoon pub in Beeston, The Last Post, was also vandalised on January 12.
Black paint was sprayed over posters which raised questions as to the effectiveness of lockdowns.
Hospitality venues have been closed for months and look to remain closed for the foreseeable future as the national lockdown continues.
Speaking of the CCTV cameras, which were installed on the building's exterior on Monday, January 18, Wetherspoon spokesman, Eddie Gershon, said: "The Samuel Hall pub already has comprehensive CCTV in place.
"However, the company has added two additional cameras to increase coverage of the pub’s external areas."
Speaking of the posters in the window, Mr Gershon added: "The posters in the pub window highlight a number of articles which point to differing views of the situation.
“They do not underestimate the seriousness of Covid-19.
“The articles give a different viewpoint to the way the government has handled the situation.”
