The Workers Memorial Statue has been vandalised after just 3 months after it was opened. The vandalism was targeted, deliberate and repeated. The perpetrators exploited a weak spot in the design and bent the metalwork out of shape
The nature of the damage needed immediate repair otherwise if left it would have caused permanent damage and the charity would be left facing a hefty bill, costing the charity money it can ill afford to spare.
Even the repair we have to do now is costly. Men plant and materials have to transported to site to affect the repairs, not cheap by any means
Luckily for us 2 local businessmen Kev Powell and Paul Dickinson directors of Sure Steel Services Ltd stepped in and carried out the repairs to the memorial at their own expense providing plant, men and materials
The charity is most grateful to the directors at Sure Steel Services Ltd for their very kind and generous gesture and wish them well for the future
