The unveiling of the newly renamed sign

On Thursday 11^th May 2023, the Mayor of Chelmsford Cllr. Sue Dobson unveiled the newly renamed sign ‘The John Galley Memorial Ground’ in Boreham.

The Recreation Ground was renamed by Boreham Parish Council in tribute to the late Mayor John Galley, who sadly passed away in October 2022 after a period of illness. John Galley was regarded with huge fondness in Boreham, where he served as a Parish Councillor for more than 30 years and was first elected to represent the area as a Borough Councillor back in 2000.

The unveiling event was attended by John’s wife, Jackie, and his son and daughter.
