A COMMUNITY partnership has pledged to preserve a town's tribute to its fallen heroes despite losing its British Legion branch.
Willington's British Legion branch recently disbanded after nearly six decades of organising Remembrance Day services and collecting thousands of pounds for ex-servicemen and women.
Now the town's community partnership is planning to take over these aspects of its work.
Chairman Brian Myers said: "We will be talking with the Bishop Auckland branch of the legion offering to work in partnership with them to maintain at least the wreath laying."
Anyone who can help should contact Bev McMahon on (01388) 742011 or 07752 281773.
