THE Mayor of Henley has proposed a memorial garden for George Harrison.

Councillor Lorraine Hillier suggested using the green triangle of land in Bell Street, which developer Chesterton Commercial has offered to the town council free of charge if it agrees to maintain it.

Speaking at a meeting of the council’s town and community committee, she said: “I would like to propose that the triangle is dedicated for a George Harrison memorial garden. We could plant a silver birch tree to tackle the pollution issues there.”

Deputy Mayor Julian Brookes agreed, saying: “We don’t have any memorials in the town for George Harrison, who lived here for 30 years. Perhaps he should be recognised.”
