By Councillor Cameron - War Memorial - City Chambers

“Council notes that the War Memorial in front of the City Chambers is where Scotland’s Annual Service of Remembrance takes place.  The War Memorial is a place of respect and remembrance and is visited and photographed by numerous visitors and residents alike during the year.

Metal barriers are currently in place, together with a sign requesting people to respect the War Memorial.

Council calls for a report in two cycles to Finance and Resources Committee setting out:

1)         How the preservation and presentation of the war memorial in its setting can best be achieved and respected, without the use of metal barriers;

2)         Any access issues to the War Memorial and to the entrance to the public Quadrangle in order to keep pavement space free for pedestrian movement and access to the City Chambers and Quadrangle.”
