MEMORIAL CHAINS TO BE REPAIRED
The damage caused to the War Memorial Fence by an unknown heavy vehicle taking the corner into Green Close too tightly is to be repaired by the Parish Council – who will meet the cost, likely to be in the region of £100.
Examining the fence, Councillor Stephen Mather said:
“I had a look at the three bent posts this morning and I was surprised to see 40mm solid square bent like that. It could be a costly affair replacing the posts and concrete foundations.
I could try the easier and much cheaper option of straightening them up by cutting and welding them. I don’t think the concrete foundations have been disturbed too much and they still have a tremendous hold into the ground.”
Following the repair that Stephen will attempt, there will be some remodelling and refreshment of the whole memorial and its garden in the new year.
