Community activists in Plean are edging closer to their goal of raising enough funds to restore and clean up the village cenotaph.

Around £560 of the target has so far been raised thanks to an online crowdfunding appeal set up by Plean's Voice.

And the stalwarts are asking people to donate what they can to give the effort the final push.

In an online plea they said: “We are looking to have the cenotaph cleaned up and all wording restored, to go along with our beautiful new planters and hanging baskets to brighten up our village.

“Our quote for this is £700. Can we as a village pull together and get this done, even £1 would help.”

Plean’s Voice is a local charity set up by residents to make the village “a lovely, more fun place to live”.

The group hosts regular events throughout the year and has been successful in securing enhancements such as Christmas lights, and summer hanging baskets and tubs in recent years.
