PLAN TO REPLACE PLAQUES


DISCUSSING “the lowe.sl form of vandali.sm you could possibly have” — the theft of brass plaques from Ciitheroe Cenotaph, the Town Council decided to replace the jilaques in a .style worthy of those who gave their lives in the war.


Telford said that iiuiuiries were in hand regarding replacement of the 'plaques, but depending on the mate­ rial involved, the cost could be up to £1,000.


Town Clerk Mr Leslie

at the theft and agreed to thank the police for efforts made to find those respons­ ible.


Members expressed anger


• "Surely it must have been someone from away, or local people would have split on thieves of this character,” said Coun. Mrs Beryl


Cassidy. *{ 1 ^ /
