Plans to add three soldiers to town's war memorial more than 100 years on are submitted
The names of three soldiers missing from a war memorial could be added if a planning application is approved.
Ruyton XI Towns Parish Council has applied to Shropshire Council for listed building consent to install an additional stone plaque on the town’s Grade II listed war memorial.
When the plaque was originally put in place in 1920 – three names were missed off, those of Alfred Rogers, Charles Henry Hanmer, and Ernest Lloyd.
A separate small stone plaque was previously added bearing Mr Rogers’ name – but the new plaque will cover it and include all three names.
A decision on the plan will be taken by Shropshire Council’s planning department at a later date.
Meanwhile a county school is seeking permission to create a ‘multi-use additional teaching space’ on its campus.
The application, from Oldbury Wells School, Bridgnorth, requests planning consent and listed building permission for the work.
The school plans to alter and convert a vacant storage space, gymnasium changing room and showers to create the new space.
The new project will also include the installation of 10 new windows as part of the scheme.
