The ‘Hoad’ Monument was restored & re-opened in 2009. The Town Council has arranged for this Grade II* and much loved building to be repainted and repaired externally. It will be done this week by contractors using harnesses suspended from internal fixings in the ‘pepperpot’. Work has started and is going well, fingers crossed the weather stays fine!
