Oriel Architects were appointed to provide design options and after submission of alternatives were instructed to proceed with plans to provide a memorial garden and contemplative enclosed seating within low level brick walls. The sun dial memorial to Police Officers who have died on duty is surrounded by a ring of balled shrubs and the enclosed seats are joined by garland shaped planting beds. Slate plaques within each seating area, record the names of officers and provide space for future additions. During memorial, day ceremonies, Police and guests march between the Police and War memorials and attend services at each.
