The Old Shire Hall's veranda suffered some minor damage after an accident in Lloyd Street yesterday afternoon.

The car rolled from across the street, near the Pharmacy, and was stopped by the posts under the veranda of the library building.

Luckily no one was standing there at the time, given that earlier in the afternoon a number of volunteers had been setting up for the Christmas Carnival.

The casualties were a chair, a trestle table, and a couple of veranda posts.

Before the Carnival last night the posts were secured and the area fenced off, with the tables moved around the corner.
