The purpose of this report is to advise members of the proposal to create a mural to commemorate the centenary of the end of World War One.
There have been many events and activities taking place across the country since 2014 to commemorate the centenary of World War One (WW1).
In August 2014, Fareham Borough Council commemorated the centenary of the outbreak of the war by holding a number of public activities in the town centre. A commemoration stone was also unveiled.
An opportunity has been identified to create a commemorative mural on the railway arch that bridges the public footpath next to the allotments at the southern end of the Gillies. Pupils from Wallisdean Junior School would be involved in helping to develop the design that would highlight the role that Fareham and its residents played in the war.
The proposed mural would be created during the summer of 2018 to commemorate the centenary of the end of WW1 later in the year.
