Councillors will make a decision on this later this week
Two new residential streets in Ashfield could be named after local soldiers who died in Afghanistan if a proposal is approved by the district council. Conservative politicians will put forward a motion at Ashfield District Council’s full council meeting on February 2.
Councillors say both will be “sadly missed” by their regiments, communities and families and have called for streets to be named in their honour. Councillor Chris Baron , who represents Hucknall West, will present the motion on Thursday alongside fellow Conservative Cllr Phil Rostance.They will say: “Rifleman Adrian Sheldon sadly died in Afghanistan in May 2009, after 10 years of military service. Justifiably, his family and his regiment will never forget him.
“Paul was educated and lived in Hucknall all his life and followed the military route of joining the local regiment. Adrian lived in Kirkby all his short life, and they both gave their lives to safeguard the future of others from tyranny and dictatorship. “As former Hucknall and Kirkby in Ashfield residents, isn’t it time to honour their lives through the naming of a street after them?” All councillors on the Ashfield Independent-led authority will discuss the suggestion during Thursday’s meeting.
