A few weeks ago, the village noticeboard opposite the school in Middle Road collapsed and had to be removed for safety reasons.
After a thorough inspection, the damage looks like it was due to wear, tear and decay. After all, it has been there for over 30 years and has lasted through several stop-gap repairs to keep it going. The inspection determined that it is now beyond economic repair.
A new noticeboard has therefore been purchased and installation will hopefully be later on in November. The main criteria in selection were appearance, cost, durability and low-maintenance – so we’ve opted for one with a steel and aluminium construction.
The new one will be of a similar size to the old one with the left-hand side available for public use as before. It will also be in a similar green colour and in a similar positio. The main difference will be in the method of attaching notices - which will be via magnets as currently appears to be the trend. A supply of spare magnets will be left on the board for public use.
In the meantime, official Parish Council notices such as agendas and minutes can be viewed in the temporary noticeboard in the Middle Road bus shelter just outside of Cossington Park
