Renovation and improvement of the Hythe War Memorial. The Hythe War Memorial commemorates the First and Second World Wars and is a centre for remembrance in the town. The monument is stained and needs professional cleaning. The area in front of the memorial also needs refurbishment. The intention is to resurface the oval area within the curtilage with a large poppy design inlaid to a resin bonded surface together with refurbishment of the existing benches and cleaning the marble and brickwork. This will create a suitable and inspirational, permanent visual enhancement of the Memorial of all those former residents of Hythe, both military and civilian, who made the supreme sacrifice.
Prior to or on Remembrance Sunday 2018 the intention is to have a Service of Dedication and produce a Commemorative Programme.
