Change Burns Road, New cardington to a name that wont offend victims families of the R101
The Issue
The new housing estate at the rear of the Cardington sheds is being built.
The names of the roads are mostly taken by R101 victims names and RAF personnel associated with RAF Cardington.
One road is named after C H Mason, assistant Coxswain on R101, he is one of the victims who was burned to death aboard R101, he was also one of the unidentified victims, burned so badly in the fire.
Mason road is named after him and then leads into Burns road on the estate.
It is totally unacceptable for obvious reasons.
It shows a total disregard for the heritage, the victims and their families of the R101 airship disaster.
The name should be changed to show respect to the heritage of the site that street is built on and the victims of the R101 airship disaster.
As the estate is still being built it should not be difficult to change this name at this early stage.
