Hughes supports Boer War Memorial consultation

August 18, 2009 12:00 PM

In response to recent reports, Simon Hughes MP has asked the Leader of the Council to lead an inspection and consultation into the future of the Boer War Memorial in West Lane. Simon has asked Councillor Stanton to look into whether the memorial needs to be moved and, if so, to consult with the community about possible new locations.

Simon said "I am keen that this is not a hasty decision, but that all the possibilities are explored. My suggestion which I would like the council to look at is to return the memorial to its original site at the old Bermondsey Town Hall. This building has many members of the public visiting and Spa Road is the hub of the Bermondsey Community Council area. The consultation may also lead to other suggestions from the community about locations with Boer War links and this would be most interesting."

Simon has also pledged his support for finding funding for the relocation and restoration once the consultation has taken place and the decision about the new home for the memorial has been made.

ENDS

    If you are a resident of the Bermondsey and Old Southwark constituency and are writing to discuss any issue that Parliament or government is responsible for, you must provide your home address as MPs are generally only permitted to act on behalf of constituents.

    If you are not a constituent, you do not need to provide your address, but the matters we can deal with are more limited and you may wish to contact your local MP in the first instance.
