Nottinghamshire, WW1 Roll of Honour Centenary Memorial Project PDF 142 KB Report of the Corporate Director for Commercial and Operations Minutes: Eddie Curry, Head of Parks, Open Spaces & Investment Funding, introduced the report providing a detailed overview of the Nottinghamshire WW1 Roll of Honour Centenary Memorial Project and seeking support from the Committee and local community groups. The following information was highlighted:
(a)
there is no one place that contains a definitive list of all the
over 14,000 fallen from World War 1 from Nottingham and
Nottinghamshire. This monument will provide a befitting and lasting
commemoration of these people who lost their lives; (b)
the location of the memorial will be the Memorial Gardens at
Victoria Embankment; (c)
other options were considered than a permanent memorial structure,
such as a digital projection or web-based roll of honour, but the
permanent structure was considered the most accessible and suitably
respectful solution; (d)
the design has been through a competition and consultation process,
and planning approval has now been secured. Full construction
should begin in the new year in time for a dedication during Armed
Forces Week; (e)
the estimated working budget for the memorial is £320,000.
The majority of this is funded jointly by contributions from
Nottingham City Council, Nottinghamshire County Council and all 7
Borough and District Councils in Nottinghamshire; (f)
the remaining funds will come from charitable donations from local
businesses and public donations. Anyone wishing to donate to the
project can do so online at http://nosf.org.uk/roll-of-honour.html
or by cheque; (g) if people wish to check that their relative’s name will be included on the memorial, there is a roll of honour on the county council’s website, and this can be added to if anybody is missing from the list: http://secure.nottinghamshire.gov.uk/rollofhonour
RESOLVED to note the report and help support the promotion of the project within the local community. |
