Migrants Trust

From a well informed source:

At the back of County Hall near the river, you will find a tree planted in 2007 to mark the 60th anniversary of Britain's post war child migration schemes, in which young children were deported to Australia. The County Council has supported the Child Migrants Trust for many years. The trust, a registered charity, helps reunite British child migrants with their families in the UK.
Alongside the tree is an information board explaining about the charity and how it came into being. This has now been removed, apparently because Cutts 'doesn't like it'.


Another source tells me that Ms Cutts thinks this shows Britain in a bad light and so all reference to this charity should be removed from within County Hall.
