New Memorial Bench at Glebelands
Holsworthy Town Council is pleased to announce the installation of a new memorial bench at the top of Glebelands, replacing the previous bench which had fallen into disrepair.
This project involved considerable effort to establish ownership of the original bench and the land on which it stood. Holsworthy Town Council agreed to replace the bench to ensure the area remained a welcoming and reflective space for the community.
With the help of Academic Facilities Services, the new bench has now been installed and dedicated to commemorate the 80th anniversary of VJ Day, which was marked earlier this year.
The surrounding area has also been improved, including the installation of a new planter, the planting of bulbs and the removal of graffiti.
The Council would like to extend its sincere thanks to Councillor Cole and the volunteers, including Louis Devitt and Robin, for their hard work and commitment to enhancing this community space.
As all the work has now been completed, it was fitting that the bench was dedicated on 11th November, on the day of remembrance.

Holsworthy mayor’s football match: chaos and community spirit
MEN in wellies, a streaker, the mayor in a union flag themed garb so bright it could be seen from the International Space Station and inclement weather.
While it might be a sentence used to pitch a potential sitcom about Holsworthy to big television bosses, in this instance it accurately surmises the chaos in mayoral chains and community fun that greeted the inaugural charity football event in aid of the mayor’s charities, which this year would see Holsworthy AFC and the town’s volunteer-run museum.
