For several years there have been numerous complaints about the ugly hoardings outside the old Coop building in Radford Street and the old Fire Station in Newcastle Street. And with judging for Stone in Bloom only a ten days away it looks as if some anonymous citizens have decided to do something about the problem themselves!
I can't disclose too many details because technically what happened this morning was actually a bit of "people power" at work. Taking matters into their own hands a handful of volunteers (did I see their photographs on Stone's Independent Voice leaflets during the local elections?!) turned up with dust sheets, paint brushes and rollers and two tubs of paint and did the job!
Let's just hope that the vandals and graffiti artists leave well alone - at least until after the In Bloom judges have been to town.
