HOW audacious of the would-be developer to even contemplate, let alone apply, to have the Dunscar War Memorial relocated.

Notwithstanding the unacceptable consequences of further housing to the area - ie: more traffic on the roads, air and noise pollution, pressure on schools and the general infrastructure - is even a memorial to our war dead now considered to be in the way?

Let's hope that the decision-makers show the applicant that he is in a minority of one.
