Fund raisers who have spent five years working towards a memorial for miners
who worked at a Rotherham colliery have won planning permission to install a
2.5 metre high statue, despite objections from some residents who believe it
will overshadow an existing war memorial.
The sculpture will go up in Coronation Park in Dinnington, along with a
plinth to take the names of miners who worked at the colliery there and will
sit alongside a half pit wheel and war memorial already in the park.
Planners at Rotherham Council who approved the scheme were told there had
been 21 letters of support and nine objections, with some people feeling the
new structure would detract from the setting of the war memorial.
Objector Jean Hart told a planning board meeting: “There are already
official memorials for Dinnington Colliery and miners.
