Dizzy Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 Nice to see the Cenotaph area at Bridge Foot finally getting a much deserved clean up today and looks like two new benches have been installed on the grassed areas too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzy Posted October 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 Three days in a run and the workers were still there today cleaning it all up when I passed a few times this afternoon. Nice to see so much effort being put in and I wonder if they are repairing the uneven paving slabs too, I hope so PS It's rather nice having my own personal topic and just talking to myself, I might start more like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asperity Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 Are these the workers who are supposed to be doing the alterations at Crossfield roundabout? I've been away 6 weeks and nothing seems to have been done since I left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracey Bennett Posted November 1, 2014 Report Share Posted November 1, 2014 Hopefully they're adding my Great, Great Uncle John's name to it in time for the remembrance service next weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted November 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2014 I hope they do too Tracey and it's rather sad that so many names weren't included for various reasons when it was first built How long have you been trying to get your Great great Uncles John's name added for ?

Tracey Bennett Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 It was all very simple actually. Algy posted some photos of names on the cenotaph earlier this year, I realised Uncle John wasn't on there and e-mailed the council. I sent them the War Graves record showing where he was buried etc and they e-mailed back saying they'd add him on. Now we're invited to attend the ceremony and we're meeting the mayor at the town hall. All in all I've been very impressed with how it's been handled.
