Within walking distance are three other such sites, Carr Bank, Old Meeting House and Titchfield Park. Putting another such facility sounds nice but is it practical? Will it increase the footfall in the town in any way? The answer most would give is no!
Instead of doing the same old thing, be forward thinking and create a memorial advantageous to the people of the district and encourage more folk to come into the town centre.
Instead of a garden, turn the existing car park into an electric vehicle charging site and call it the ‘Covid memorial’.
In this way, the sad loss of those who passed away due to Covid will be remembered far more than with a garden that, within a short time, will be filled with litter and become a meeting place for the people the council are trying to discourage from congregating in town.
It would be great to hear the views on this from the council, but I will not hold my breath.
