A consultation on the potential relocation of the War Memorial took place in June to July 2021. 5500 consultation documents were distributed to households across the Parish and there was a high response rate of 10.8%.
We would like to thank everyone who responded for their interest in this important project, and for the many comments received.
Of those responding 89% supported the proposed relocation of the Memorial to the site adjacent to the Memorial Park, and 11% objected to the relocation. Of those objecting, almost 40% supported the relocation of the Memorial, but not to the chosen site.
The consultation report can be found here
On 16 September 2021 the Council formally agreed to proceed with the project. A planning application (no. 213927) has now been submitted to Wokingham Borough Council and you can view the details and comment on the application here
A visualisation of how the Memorial would look in the new location is shown below.
