IT’S strange goings-on in High St, New Norfolk, where a section of footpath has been mysteriously fenced off. A fine-looking fence has appeared in recent days, completely enclosing a council garbage bin and a bench seat. The bench had been removed by the time these photos were taken today, but the bin is still behind bars, fenced off from people wanting to Keep Australia Beautiful.
No doubt privately-owned, this area was set back from the main thoroughfare and has been the ideal spot for fundraising barbecues, raffles and cake stalls over the decades since the adjoining offices were built as a bank in 1962.
