The first panel with 60 names out of the 736 from the town to go on the new memorial was carefully put in place today, a day ahead of schedule.
Two more panels were also in place when the specialist stonemasons, MJR Masonry Services, left the site this evening (they are scheduled to erect two per day).
The main contractor, Landscape Engineering Ltd., are making excellent progress and have nearly finished the two random stone walls either side of the memorial itself.
They should start work on the block paving sometime tomorrow and have work to do at the back of the main wall, as well as some further landscaping.
Project Manager, Steve Williams, is confident that everything will be completed by the 5th November.
The site will then be handed back to Chorley Council for them to clean the War Memorial cross (paid for by Chorley Remembers and Heritage Lottery funding), as well as preparing the site ready for Remembrance Sunday on the 11th.
