ATHERTON Business Partnership is having a summer market on Saturday, June 28.

Banners were placed throughout Atherton informing everyone about the event.

On Thursday evening on CCTV two men drove up in their car between 11.15-11.27pm and took all the banners down throughout Atherton, not just ours but the carnival and pottery banners.

I am at a loss as to why someone would want to do this.

They may want them to put down in their gardens to stop weeds coming through but they did cost £1,000, which is expensive to stop weeds.

Or they may just not like banners, but they were nice banners if I may say so.

If anyone knows who these sad people are just let someone know, it would be nice to get them back, although I am not holding my breath.

Having said all this please come along and have a lovely day with us.

Val Houghton
Chairman, Atherton Business Partnership
