FARNHAM'S town hall clock is once again ringing out over Castle Street, a week after the historic landmark's owners silenced its chimes following a solitary complaint to the council.

The plight of the clock, which had chimed every quarter of an hour for 146 years before last week's intervention, has made national headlines after The Herald's lead story last week.

The Daily Telegraph and BBC Radio 5 Live are among those to have covered the story, as well as BBC South Today which interviewed the man behind the campaign to restore the chimes, Kiran Davies, on Monday.

Kiran said: "I'm really happy and didn't expect to be able to turn the chimes back on so soon. I never imagined it would attract as much publicity as it had done. My phone's been ringing non-stop!"
