The memorial is nice enough but it's so sad to see the surrounding gardens so unkempt

It’s interesting that someone has commented on the poor state of Elm Park, it’s just been awarded Green Flag. Not sure if that is for cleanliness and amenities. But a garden should be well kept but it costs money. I think there is a group of volunteers to help or is that Town fields? Nothing will get done without community and volunteers!!!

A statue with no dignity or respect, just a large, tasteless action man figurine situated in a dump.
