At a full council meeting on Tuesday night, Watford Labour leader Cllr Nigel Bell asked Peter Taylor whether he agreed the proposed demolition of the Sun Printers Clock Tower would be a bad blow for the heritage of the town. It comes after an application was submitted to Watford Borough Council last month by a man called Paul Stacey to knock the clock tower in Ascot Road down.
