'No expense spared' as council announces clock clean-up

Langport Town Council has announced what's being described as 'the first phase' of work to give our unofficial town emblem a long-awaited clean up. We understand a man with a bucket of hot soapy water and a sponge is going up in a cherry picker to wash the clock on November 22nd. It's believed the operation may coincide with the putting up of the town hall Christmas lights and that it's just the first step in what may eventually prove to be a costly operation to repaint and repair its faces and casing.

"It shouldn't be too expensive" said a town councillor on the phone from her official home in Bow Street, "we've already been to WHSmith in Taunton and bought the transfers for the Roman numerals." She went on to add that anyone wanting to tell the time while the clean-up is underway should walk round to the library which has its own large time piece in its brickwork....but she said she preferred any Bridgwater residents visiting Langport to travel to Weymouth seafront and use that one.
