‘Think again’: No D-Day beacon on Dunstable Downs

Available for over a year

The National Trust says it can’t afford to light the beacon on the 80th anniversary. That’s despite an offer by Dunstable Town Council to contribute £4,000 towards the event. Doctor Nick Curt, the President of the Dunstable Downs Rotary Club, told BBC Three Counties Radio, he’s disappointed by the decision, as is Dunstable historian and author, Jean Yates.
