Stolen war plaque replaced
The plate, engraved with the names of local soldiers who died in the Second World War, went missing around a month ago and is thought to have been stolen for its scrap value.
With the theft reported to the police, the council’s land services team used photographs of the missing plaque to quickly design a replacement with the correct fonts, lettering and names.
