It was supposed to be a celebration of a town’s rich mining heritage.But plans for a £70,000 miners’ memorial in Rugeley have been overshadowed by a bitter dispute, which has got so out of hand that police have been called to break up tensions.The main gripe splitting groups is over the location of the planned memorial, but in recent weeks the row has intensfied with one councillor branding it ‘a very sad saga’.Four 8ft-high sculptures are being installed in the town to celebrate the hundreds of families who have links with the mining industry. Plans for the memorial, being organised by the Lea Hall and Brereton Collieries Memorial Society, which is organising the project, have been in the pipeline for several months.But while they quickly captured the imagination of the townsfolk of Rugeley, it soon became apparent the location was going to split council chiefs and members of the community. Hundreds of people have said in a variety of surveys that the memorial should be installed on the Globe Island – but it then emerged safety fears could scupper those proposals.
