Councillor John Buchanan’s attempt to make excuses for the state of Billericay war memorial can be refuted by anyone visiting the site.
His guided tour stating “the red flowers are blooming nicely” does not hide the fact that the beds are engulfed in weeds and the grass is a foot high in places.
If this is the quality of care he is proud of, I suggest he gets down on his hands and knees, as I have done, and looks more closely at the true state of the area. As an ex-RAF serviceman, I admit I expect a higher standard.
I will not put my complaint in writing to the council as this should have been picked up on months ago.
