I was disappointed to read a comment that the Standburn War Memorial was not being kept in good condition. As someone who has known this memorial since childhood I am saddened to think that the memorial is now no longer up to the standard that I remember over the years and the responsibility for maintaining it must rest with Central Region Council.

As a point of interest, on the website's National List of War Memorials, you show Standburn War Memorial, Irene Terrace, it is in fact, Main Street.

Irene Terrace is at the Eastern end of the Village and Main Street is at the Western end, were the Memorial is located.

Welcome to the forum. This post should really have been added to the Standburn thread. Can you copy your text to a new post on that thread and then we can delete this one.

Regards
