\u201cIt seems to me someone\u2019s chopped the a*se-end of the horse off,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He called for the council to make inquiries to see if it can be \u201cput back right\u201d.<\/p>\n
Laughter erupted from the town hall before Cllr Barry Hobbs, the deputy mayor, suggested it may have been part of a game.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think someone was trying to pin the donkey\u2019s tail on there, and it all went wrong,\u201d he joked.<\/p>\n
To which Cllr Draymond replied: \u201cObviously it was the deputy mayor who was doing it.\u201d<\/p>\n
The authority\u2019s clerk is set to speak to West Norfolk Council to make sure the issue is resolved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Concerns have been raised after councillors discovered a town\u2019s metal horse statue is missing its rear end.
