25/7/1959 Councillor Paints the Seats
Twenty-five seats in Cheslyn Hay’s recreation ground have recently been painted by Parish Councillor Mr.S.Allen. On Wednesday week he was complemented for his efforts at the Council Meeting. The recreation ground, councillors felt, was looking smarter than it had done for a very long time thanks to the work of caretaker Mr.R.Allen. The council was not so happy, however, about the state of the pavilion, described as disgusting. Vandalism caused it to be in a constant state of disrepair. Mrs.G.Blackley said it seemed a waste of money to repair it. Last time window panes were replaced they had been broken again before the bills were paid. Mr.R.Edmunds contended it should be left alone to save Council expense. If there is an outcry, people should be told something would be done when the vandalism was controlled.
