What a difference a clean up makes, writes Kevin Painter.
Tara Niblett made it a focus to enhance the war memorial in anticipation for commemorations in 2020.
The war memorial at St Saviour’s Church is dedicated to those from Tetbury who died in service during both the First and Second World Wars.
The office team contacted James Long Mason Limited of Trowbridge, after seeing the work they undertook on other war memorials.
Cleaning was undertaken on Tuesday, October 27 and Wednesday, October 28.
CEO Tara who was present as the clean was being undertaken, thanked the team for an excellent job that will be much appreciated by the town and the community who are rightly proud of the people the memorial represents and remembers.
Tara also noted the excellent job the councils ground foreman Colin Woodward has done with decorating St. Saviours Church and Grounds with knitted poppies donated by the community in 2018.
