Editorial
The Willesden Herald will shortly be launching a campaign to replace the railings and other objects removed during the war. We will be showing how areas of the capital are still badly scarred. (Hence the title of our campaign, "Healing the wounds.") Not only railings but window sill rails and other street furniture were hauled away to be turned into munitions. As with Mao's Great Leap Forward, the metal proved useless for the intended purpose and was scrapped. The Herald is calling for National Lottery funding to be allocated under the Townscape Heritage Initiative to lift this long overdue blight, not just from London, but from all over the country. Watch this space.
