Little Bo-Peep is no more.
The recent arrival who appeared at the end of Bellevue Place just before Easter was trashed by vandals last night.
We hope they felt sheepish when they sobered up in the morning.
Her companion, Humpty Dumpty, went missing in the same attack.
'So upsetting for the passing children,' says local Granny (Christina) Thomson.
She is the green-fingered nearby resident responsible for this display
'Such wanton thoughtlessness in our community.'
Right and below are photos of the pair in happier times.
Meanwhile, it's not all bad news in Broughton today. Pedestrian crossings around the barony have begun to be beautified by wind-rattled posters advertising the Spurtle hustings on Thursday, at 7.30pm in Broughton St Mary's Parish Church (Belevue Crescent).
If you have the time and inclination to display your own copy, please do. A pdf is available at the foot of this page.

@CityCycling @Popher Think so. Lib-Dems' Martin Veart may be unavoidably elsewhere, but otherwise all present and politically correct-ish.
