A remembrance garden is in the pipeline for Workington to mark the centenary of the end of World War One.

Workington Town Council wants to create the feature in Vulcan Park.

Chris Bagshaw, town clerk, said: "We're drafting some ideas at this stage.

"Our estate team leader Alison Saxby has drawn some interesting plans, but we need to cost them and then the council will decide if it wants to go ahead with it."

At a meeting of the town council's culture committee last month, councillors were told the aim of the project was to make an accessible memorial available to anyone, at any time.

The garden design presented included a poppy shaped perimeter lined with a combination of standard and red hedges. It would be filled with a variety of plants grouped in colours representing the different industries in Cumbria and the centre focal point would be a statue of the only surviving tree after the First World War at Beaumont Hamel, France.

The perimeter hedge would include holly as a natural deterrent for vandalism.

There is also a proposal to approach schools in the area to get children helping with the planting.

Councillors are hoping the project will be completed by November 2018.
