I see no immediate reason to oppose this.
On this solemn day, we remember the selfless sacrifice of thousands; upholding the principles of liberty and freedom. It is only right that we continue to honour this for years to come, with the dignity and glory those faithful men and women deserve.

I'd be interested in seeing any evidence this change is actually required rather than a simple attempt at political point scoring. If there are no issues with maintenance as it stands this becomes a bill for the sake of a bill.

Agreed, we should require councils to ensure that these memorials remain in a good state of repair to show appropriate respect to those who have given their lives for their country.

Whilst I would agree that war memorials are a good thing to upkeep, my understanding is that they already fall under the councils remit? I question if they should be jumped to the top of the queue above libraries, schools, fixing potholes, community engagement or rubbish collection. Whilst it’s a nice sentiment if repairing a war memorial means that my local library is shut down or litter is left to rot on the streets I feel would not seem like a fair deal to many people.

Aye, as someone who has on a number of occasions attended the wreath laying at my local war memorial.
