A LOCAL historian has urged a re-think over plans to name new roads at a 100-home housing estate after army tanks.
Dr Hugh Pihlens said the plans for the Lancaster Park project were “distressing” and has compiled a list of potentially more suitable alternatives.
Dr Pihlens has written to developer Bewley Homes and to West Berkshire Council, in a purely personal capacity, stating: “I have lived in Hungerford since 1973, was a GP here for 33 years, founded the Hungerford Historical Association in 1979 and have created the extensive Hungerford Virtual Museum website.
