Only 24 hours after Save The Red Lion Campaign put its banner up in Sidbury village so that it was visible during the most important week in the village's calendar - Sidbury Fair Week - it has been stolen.
It's a shame that someone didn't want the Campaign's details to be publicly visible in the village. Luckily the campaign had two banners made and so this second one will be proudly visible in the village on 18 September on Sidbury Fair Day.

But Scot Bennett drew level before the break as he got on the end of a corner – and City sub John O’Flynn was on hand in the three added minutes to head home a cross and send the...
The government plans to introduce a five pence charge for plastic carrier bags in England. The announcement is to be made by Nick Clegg at the Liberal Democrats' annual conference in Glasgow this weekend.
Aimed at discouraging the use and disposal of plastic bags which may have an impact on wildlife and the wider environment, the plans follow figures from Wales which has seen a 75% reduction in their use since a charge was introduced there in 2011.
Both Wales and Northern Ireland have similar schemes in place with Scotland set to follow next year.
