?	How Much, for a noticeboard! Posted: Saturday, March 28, 2009 2:15 PM I will have to take a closer look to try and understand the possible 'split' ie, materials/labour/erection costs, but what is a Parish without a notice board ? Nothing short of an ill-informed community.............It had to be done. Better than spending more money on another traffic confusing pinch point !
?	How Much, for a noticeboard! Posted: Wednesday, April 01, 2009 11:19 AM A Parish without a £4,000 notice board is a sensible well managed Parish that understands that we live in the 21st century not the 19th. Every property in Northwood has a monthly newsletter placed through their door containing all the local news, events and information. The Northwood Village website repeats and augments this information and is available worldwide. I believe that more than satisfies the requirement to inform the community. This notice board only serves as a monument to the narrow minds that conceived it and the birds that will poop on it.
?	How Much, for a noticeboard! Posted: Tuesday, April 07, 2009 11:59 PM £4000?! Perhaps a breakdown of the costs posted on here would help to put peoples minds at rest.

?	How Much, for a noticeboard! Posted: Sunday, May 17, 2009 12:09 AM I only wish I could charge my labour at those rates, and I am timed-served, fully skilled but not in the right circles obviously! This is a notice board by the way not a monument!
?	How Much, for a noticeboard! Posted: Monday, May 18, 2009 2:31 AM Yes but the last guess on the cost breakdown only added up to half the FOUR THOUSAND POUNDS. That makes it twice as crazy.
?	How Much, for a noticeboard! Posted: Friday, June 19, 2009 5:25 AM As if the cost wasn't bad enough who dreamt of placing it where it is?? ninety degrees to an already laid seviceable footpath giving rise to a few paving slabs to have to be laid to give access to read the notices. It is now easier for the passing speeding motorists to read. Well done to all involved. Dick Moon. Nodes Road.
?	How Much, for a noticeboard! Posted: Friday, June 19, 2009 11:53 AM I suggest next time those that spend money on things for the village paid out the Public purse look on the Internet. I have looked and many Hardwood lockable similar quality notice boards that would be suitable for our use are advertised by several reputable company's, for half the price we paid. OK we would have to dig 2 Holes and use a few bags of post ballast/cement, to plant it. I guess a Thousand pounds a hole would have been an incentive.
?	How Much, for a noticeboard! Posted: Monday, June 29, 2009 9:03 AM The £4,000.00 was for the overall cost of the project, of which the Noticeboard cost was less than 25%. Included in this project was the purchase and placing of 4 Bus Shelter seats for the benefit of residents within the village. 20% of the overall cost was funded by the Community Partnership and the remaining 80% was obtained from making written bids to grant funders. It is worth noting that none of this money came from your or any residents Parish Precept.

?	How Much, for a noticeboard! Posted: Wednesday, October 28, 2009 3:26 AM It has not gone unnoticed then ? Whatever 'finish' was originally put on.......is no longer on it ! And it does not matter 'where' the money came from...........it was still 'overpriced' in my opinion. W.Skinner
