FUTURE OF CROMWELL GREEN

Early day motion 1172, tabled 11 May 2004 by Steve Pound (Labour). Signed by 4 members.

That this House notes that the construction of a visitor facility on Cromwell Green will involve the removal of the statue of Oliver Cromwell, known to many as the Butcher of Drogheda; while welcoming this development, would not like to see the statue relocated to anywhere other than a foundry; considers that public consultation should commence in order that a new name for the area be agreed; and notes that Charles Stuart and Prince Rupert of the Rhine have already been mentioned in this context.

Signatures by party: Labour 2, Conservative 1, Liberal Democrat 1.
