Sarcastic 'blue plaque' about Tom Randall MP makes Gedling residents smile

A spoof blue plaque about the achievements of Conservative MP for Gedling Tom Randall has put smiles on the faces of residents and people in the area. While genuine blue plaques are dotted around Nottinghamshire to celebrate important historical markers, this one has a bit of a difference.

Mr Randall worked with Network Rail to get a new fence under the old railway bridge on Burton Road close to its junction with A6211 Shearing Hill. Mr Randall's efforts have not gone unnoticed by the community and someone has attached a small blue sign to the fence to mark the occasion. It reads: 'Tom Randall's achievement, June 11 2022, no. 1 in a series of 1'. It has caused much amusement among residents and people in the area.
