Constable has favoured war memorial move for years

ONE of the St Peter Port constables has backed a suggestion for the Smith Street war memorial to be moved and said he had been saying this for years.

Dennis Le Moignan said he agreed with Bob Place that it should be moved because of the difficulties it posed for the annual Service of Remembrance.

'I have been saying for the past three years that something should be done about it because it is on a slope and people do find it difficult.

'I know of some people who don't come to the service any more because they just can't stand on the slope at the top of Smith Street.

'I know the douzaine and I would all like to see something done about it, but a lot of thought needs to go into it,' he said.
