A STREET named in honour of a soldier who was killed in action has been officially unveiled today. Skippys Close was opened at the site of a new development of four houses and a remodified Grade-3 listed cottage, off Abb Scott Lane, in Low Moor. The street name is in honour of Sergeant Peter Anthony Rayner - nicknamed Skippy - from 2nd Battalion The Duke of Lancaster’s Regiment, who was killed while serving in Afghanistan in October 2010. Plans for the tribute were first touted back in 2019 and a group of his former comrades, including Wesley Owens (pictured top left), his family, members of the British Legion, and Craig Carter (pictured top middle), the builder of the development, were at the unveiling ceremony on Friday morning, at 11.30am.
