Highbridge's new £20,000 town clock arrives in time for
Jubilee
Highbridge's
brand new town clock was installed in the town centre on Tuesday
(May 22nd).
The
£20,000 four-faced clock was installed in Jubilee Gardens
in the place of the old three-faced structure, which was demolished
last month.
The
new clock has been part funded by £16,700 of donations and
pledges from around 30 residents and businesses, including one
single donation of £5,000.
The
Town Council will be putting the names of all those who donated
cash into a hat and drawing a name who will be invited to officially
open the landmark om Saturday June 2nd at 3pm as part of Burnham
and Highbridge's Jubilee celebrations.
Those
who have given donations will also be acknowledged on a plaque
to be sited at Highbridge Community Hall in Market Street.
