Title: Marple Locks Flowerbed
Post by: Susan on August 13, 2006, 04:08:53 PM

Just been in the park with my children and spotted the smbc lock near the bowling pitch,with all the flowers around it, just wanted to say how much it looks good. Hopefully the young people will leave it alone.

Unfortunately they didn't leave it alone but it still looks great at the moment. We were very disappointed at the Friends of the Park meeting this evening to learn that the Lock display has been vandalised over the weekend. The Parks and Rec Team are going to look at how it can be repaired. Here are some pictures for those of you who haven't made it to the park yet:

Sorry to be a pedant Susan.. but by your own logic you also can't say it was by the people of Marple.

I agree it's a shame though..

If anyorganisation can raise a reward for the arrest and conviction of the miscreants responsible for this criminal act then I will certainly contribute.

As far as I am concerned it's a pity we dont have the birch anymore.

So much for citizenship and civic pride

There is always the old stocks which seem rather underused these days. Put the culprits in them for a day so we can all see who they are.
