Malicious Theft - Open Farm Sunday 12th June, 11.30 - 3pm

A banner advertising Park Hill Farm’s family fun day - Open Farm Sunday this coming Sunday between 11.30 am and 3pm, has been pinched off the A53 roadside. The banner including the posts driven in with a post knocker, was taken on Tuesday morning, and Patsy Pimlott of Park Hill Farm is devastated.

I've check with Staffordshire County Council and the Parish Council, and neither have taken in the banner, so we know it is a malicious theft. The roadside advertising would have boosted numbers, which in turn would have boosted donations for HELP THE HEROES. Some people are small minded, mischief makers, or perhaps even worse than that, hold grudges against a farm giving families a free day out in the countryside.

Barclays Bank PLC is doubling all the money raised on the day for the charity HELP THE HEROES, and we shall be holding a raffle, and taking donations after the trailer rides.

If anyone knows who has taken the banner, then please either let the police know, or ourselves – we would like to publically name and shame the person who deprives such a wonderful charity”.

Park Hill will be open between 11.30 am and 3pm, and further information is available from 01630 652178 .

Catch, name and shame the thief!
