A planning application to remove white paint from a war memorial has been submitted to Herefordshire Council. In May of this year, residents of a small village near to Ross-on-Wye were shocked when they first saw that their War Memorial, which has stood for nearly 100 years has been coated with white masonry paint.

The application to remove the unauthorised white paint has been submitted by Orcop PC, the consultation process closes on Thursday, November 7th and the application number is P192730/L for those who wish to comment at www.herefordshire.gov.uk
