Tom Surveys the Damage at the War Memorial

Tom Brake has expressed his great sadness at the recent actions of the individual or individuals who stole the York stone paving slabs from around the Carshalton War Memorial jeopardising Remembrance Day services.

Veterans may now suffer the indignity of placing memorial wreaths at the damaged base of the cenotaph which has stood for decades in memory of local veterans.

Commenting on the incident Tom Brake said, "Is nothing sacred? First it was the lead off church roofs, now it is the York stone around the war memorial. Those responsible should hang their heads in shame."

    If you are a resident of the Carshalton and Wallington constituency and are writing to discuss any issue that Parliament or government is responsible for, you must provide your home address as MPs are generally only permitted to act on behalf of constituents.

    If you are not a constituent, you do not need to provide your address, but the matters we can deal with are more limited and you may wish to contact your local MP in the first instance.
