Miles, I was on the Putney Soc Exec Committee for 17 years until I stepped down last year. I can confirm that for each plaque (and there is a long list of both male and female candidates for a plaque) that

1. The prep work is done for each plaque as time permits.
2. The Society has followed Charity Commission guidance in recent years in reducing its reserves so expenditure has to be more carefully prioritised. Also, so does the time needed for a small group of volunteers to work on our plaque programme as well as run our four panels, support other local initiatives and continue campaigns such as combatting air pollution and traffic problems in and around the High Street.

We’d love to do more. As far as I am aware it’s the need for more volunteers rather than more cash that is slowing down progress on plaques.  Here’s a link to the ones we have put up so far: https://static1.squarespace.com/static/646b1bd3988a595f8b2887c0/t/64c8e3ede775e25dd7a59d5b/1690887151881/R6_blue_plaques_brochure.pdf
