A quick look round the usual black spots today confirmed that the scenic viewing point on Mill Park Road (1998 award winner) is still in a disgraceful condition, the children's playground on the Promenade as bad as ever, the tricolour rag/flag outside the Riverside Park Hotel could also do with replacing, the seating and 1798 memorial in the Market Square still in need of attention. The Castle now has a banner proclaiming that it will open soon - no longer Easter? I spotted this rather interesting cannon lying on the grass outside the main entrance to the castle today and it would appear to have been dug up up. If it's left lying where it is, it won't be there long! The two broken flower pots have been retained outside the door of the castle as have the two stuffed cannons - the latter need removing, restoring and mounting on replica gun carriages. Meanwhile the talk around town is of the council raising the rates - again - I suppose they have to fund the pedestrianisation farce on Rafter Street from somewhere.
