NEW Norfolk’s infamous mis-spelled “bicentennary” plaque looks like it is set in stone, with Derwent Valley mayor Tony Nicholson flatly refusing to have the inscription corrected. Speaking at the March council meeting, Councillor Nicholson said the public was unlikely to notice the errors on the plaque unless its critic, Damian Bester, proposed standing alongside to point them out. “What a great idea,” Mr Bester responded.
Bester is now seeking opinions on whether balloons or streamers are most appropriate for festival day (in red, white and black of course).
