THE go-ahead has been given for a new mosaic at County Hall to honour Notts men and women who have lost their lives in military action or in public service.
The mosaic, in the county colours of green and gold, will remember the Armed Forces, emergency services and others who have lost their lives.
The green granite mosaic with a gold compass will feature the county coat of arms, the Notts County Council logo and the coat of arms for the offices of the High Sheriff of Notts and the Lord Lieutenant of Notts.
County council leader Councillor Kay Cutts said that the mosaic would be a lasting memorial to hundreds of people.
She said: "This mosaic will honour the men and women of our county who have sacrificed their lives whether it be in carrying out their civilian duties or in a military capacity – we are proud of all of them."
The new mosaic will replace an existing mosaic that was unveiled in 1990 to celebrate 100 years of public service in Nottinghamshire. The existing mosaic needed replacing as a number of tiles had cracked due to adverse whether conditions in recent years.
