The Parish of Wanstead has been granted permission to restore the Wanstead War Memorial.

“Redbridge Council, which owns the memorial, has licensed us to commission a reputable firm to carry out as much work as funds allow. The priority is to clean the memorial and retouch the worn names. We’d also like to repoint the stone and repaint the base,” said Rev James Gilder.

Over £1,000 was raised at VE Day anniversary events in May.

It’s hoped the work will be completed in time for this year’s Remembrance Sunday parade.
