I AM so pleased that the growing calls for the memorial stone to be returned into the centre of town are last being fully voiced.

Thank you AA. I was furious some years ago when earlier calls were rejected by the very lop-sided council we have here.

Perhaps this new MP (Christopher) could show us all his true metal and get behind this well supported plan to move it back. Many grants are available and if there is false blocks put up by the council he may be able to break down such log jams with his contacts.

Let the matter of the memorial move be his first real local test and let’s all hope we can win it for Andover and the honour of the brave.

David (Oscar) Ashton, Penton Mewsey
