Heard a rumour About our giant poppy possibly being taken down as it was only in place to commemorate the 100th Anniversary true or not I’d appreciate your thoughts and like to keep it in situ for the foreseeable future please feel free to comment and sign .

The volume of support has secured us a meeting with the local planning committee later this week. I am currently preparing the formal documentation to argue for the permanent retention of the poppy. This momentum allows us to present a clear mandate during those upcoming negotiations.

Firstly, I like to say how saddened I am to hear this new my family as always been in forces through out generations and I can't tell you enough how much upsets and distress this has caused to here this news. Maybe the council should ask there people what they want.

That’s rubbish. It’s been up a few years now so another lie. They owe alfreton after this year. Give alfreton some dignity and let’s remember the fallen regardless of 100 yrs they should be remembered all the time.

When the fighting stopped, remembrance began. That should not stop. We owe them what we have today.
