Memorial NEGLECTED.. How Could The Council Let This Happen?

What an honour! The War memorial was nominated by a member of the Royal British Legion.. and they managed to get us access to restore the Memorial in time for Remembrance Day! We were given a short window and with not the best weather we tackle this satisfying transformation, Very proud!
