New Notice Board
Towards the end of 2009 vandals targeted the notice board by the newt pond again, ironically, this time it was to obtain the metal protective grid in front of the glazed area to use as an impromptu barbeque grill!
The Sherigham Town Council has spent £100s of pounds over the last 20 years repairing the notice board so this time the decision was to remove it rather than repair. Prior to its removal a number of the public who regularly walk over the Common expressed some regret at this decision as they particularly enjoyed the month-by-month ‘What to look out for’ posters.
Beeston Common Management Group decided therefore to refurbish the old notice board and replace the glazed section at their cost. In total £150 was spent on materials and with a change of colour for the woodwork from brown to green a new and larger notice board is now up and running.
It is hoped that the vandals will leave this one alone – we shall just have to wait and see.
