Keep the Workington cross
Dear Cumbria County Council,
Please grant planning permission to keep the crucifixion statue on the towns slag bank.
Please grant planning permission to keep the crucifixion statue on the towns slag bank.
Why is this important?
Peter Nelson, who formerly run Crystal Commissions in the town centre, erected this memorial in tribute to his late wife, Angela, and also as a gift to the town he has called home for so many years, and the town he has provided invaluable services to from his business.
Given the history of the slag bank, being built upon what was formerly known as Chapel Hill, and the location, many people in the area think this is a wonderful tribute and should be allowed to remain.
