Follow me so far?

Good.
I agree that our council definitely has some resposiblity to maintain our historic heritage.
The comment that you made about hanging baskets, whilst they might sound a good way, in principle, of brightening the borough up. They are an extravagance we can't afford, when you look at how neglected our once proud towns were. It is a case of fiddling whilst Rome burned.
I am going to email Peter Britcliffe and ask what the borough is going to do to restore the monument in time for the 100th anniversary of the opening of Peel Park. I will let you all know his reply, and then we can all think how to put pressure on him to preserve how heritage.
