Reflections Area Opening (Castle Grounds)

Each year the Mayor of Tamworth presents a gift to the Borough and back in May 2011 Cllr Lee Bates announced that he was going to do something a little different from the norm. The norm has been to buy the Town a gift of a piece of silver ware, crystal or pottery which goes on display in the Mayor's parlour in the Town Hall. this is something that Lee and I have discussed a number of times, so what was it that Lee wanted to do?
Lee announced that he was going to make a contribution to a project with the local Rotary Club to create a seated reflection area in the Castle Grounds. This area was to allow people to sit and rest whilst they could reflect on anything they wanted and the area also housed the commemorative stone celebrating the formation of the Mercian regiment in 2007.
What has been created is a very public area and an asset to the town, I have to say I'm very impressed with what the rotary and Cllr Lee Bates have achieved. We have some great assets in the castle grounds and this adds to the whole offer we have.

Well Done Rotary and Well Done Lee
