Letter to the Editor: Memorial placement

DEAR News Of The Area,

I READ with interest the article in News Of The Area dated 7 November, with respect to the proposed site(s) of the reconstructed WWII war memorial.

Many years ago, a consortium which was attempting to rebuild the memorial, entered into discussions with the local Council about those sites.

Both of them were deemed to be non-acceptable as there were not enough toilet facilities in the area to cater to the numbers of the public who would attend such days as Anzac Day or Remembrance Day.

Are such toilet facilities now available?

Regards,
Peter WEYLING,
Uralla.
