As I looked at the shelter with seating, that is now a concrete skeleton and an eyesore, I noticed to my horror that it was called the Street War Memorial.
I've complained on line before this about the concrete eyesore, but to find that we have desecrated a war memorial makes it much worse.
I gather that the bandstand, which was home to some pleasant band concerts in my very first months in Street, was destroyed because young people congregated there and got up to the unspeakable things that young people always get up to. Was the sheltered seating destroyed because young people sat on the seats?
What can we do to restore Merriman Park to something like its former glory, and to restore some self-respect to the people of Street?
