Speaking to BBC Wales on Saturday, mother-of-two Mrs Ogunbanwo, who has lived in the area for 13 years, said she believed she and her family was targeted because they are black.

She said her first thought when she saw the swastika was "do I need to be scared?"

"I thought 'oh no, if somebody is feeling this way, maybe I won't be safe going for a walk'," she said.

She decided not to erase the graffiti, and believes it will serve as a reminder of "the importance of Black Lives Matter".

"I'm going to leave that thing up there and let my village see it," she said.

"If we wash it away, it's like it didn't really happen and I want people to remember it".
