It is seen as an opportunity to reconnect communities to the city’s maritime past and tell stories of journeys, migration, identity and sanctuary.
But nearby resident Ron Williamson, 70, who has lived in Southampton for 40 years, said the monument is an “utter waste of time and money”.
He said: “The monument isn’t signposted, most aren’t either, but being obscured from view from both land and sea by the trees, until you are directly in front of it, makes a nonsense of it being an attraction for visitors.
“The problem is that it is completely obscured by two trees, one either side. Approaching by road from the West, you cannot see the monument until you’ve passed it.”
The Mayflower Pilgrims Monument was first unveiled in 1913 and can be seen from Mayflower Park.
“Approaching from the East, by road or cruise ship, again it’s tucked out of sight behind another tree”, Ron added.
“The simple solution is for the council to ‘crown’ these two trees, but apparently it’s not on their schedule. What a waste of time and money.”
But the council hit back by saying that the trees near the monument are maintained.
A spokesperson for Southampton City Council said: “The monument is framed by the two trees, which are regularly pruned to ensure they do not encroach onto the monument. Part of the joy of these monuments is the anticipation of finding them, they are designed to be viewed in full from a variety of vantage points.”

In January , 1873 he married Mary Spranger , the daughter of the Reverend Spranger in the Church at Hursley and , unusually , took his father-in-law ’ s surname .

William Francis Gummer Spranger was born April 7th, 1848 at Bridport, Dorset and his early years were spent at Hursley near Winchester.
In January, 1873 he married Mary Spranger, the daughter of the Reverend Spranger in the Church at Hursley and, unusually, took his father-in-law’s surname.
The Sprangers moved to Southampton in the 1880’s, living first at Windsor House, 2 Cumberland Place.
William inherited his father-in-law’s estate worth £86,000, a very considerable sum at the time.
He then lived at Springhill Court in Hill Lane. It was enlarged, becoming one of the largest houses in the town.
In the grounds was the ancient Conduit Head of the Colwell Spring.
In the 13th century Franciscan monks piped water from here to the Friary near God’s House.
Springhill Court was bombed in 1940 and replaced by Nazareth House.
Spranger’s main work was in the field of education.
He was the first vice-chairman of the then new Borough Education Committee in 1902.
He was also Chair of Governors of both Taunton’s and King Edward VI schools.
He purchased the land at Highfield Uplands on which Taunton’s School was later built.
William was a member of the governing body of University College, the forerunner of the University of Southampton, a magistrate and a local councillor.
However, he is best remembered in Southampton for restoring Tudor House in St Michael’s Square.
He acquired the dilapidated building in 1886 along with the adjoining Norman House known as King John’s Palace.
At that time, the premises were leased to a number of businesses, including a dyers and a bookbindery. The Norman House was being used as a coal store by Beavis’s coal merchants.
Construction began on Tudor House in 1491 by Sir John Dawtrey.
After his death in 1518 his widow married Sir Richard Lister (or Lyster), Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer and later Lord Chief Justice to Henry VIII.
Lister retired to his Southampton house in 1552.
In the Victorian and Edwardian periods the house was sometimes referred to as Henry VIII's Palace or Old Palace House.
In the late 18th century the property passed into the hands of the Bernard family, after whom Bernard Street is named.
Ownership remained in this family until 1860 when it was acquired by William Lankester, principal of the well-known firm of Southampton iron and brass founders.
For much of the second half of the 19th century it was used for industrial and commercial purposes.
In 1883 the central portion was leased to George Cawte, bookbinder, and the northern section to George Henry Pope, dyer and furniture cleaner.
Spranger had to wait for business leases to expire before he could start work on Tudor House itself.
Between 1898 and 1910 extensive and meticulous restoration work was undertaken.
Externally, this involved removing the stucco from the walls and restoring as far as possible the original Tudor brick and timber work.
The front of the ground floor was restored to replace the shop fronts built in the 19th century.
Despite the restoration, the main structure of the building remains much as it was during the 16th century.
In 1911 Spranger persuaded the council to purchase the house with a view to converting it into a museum. Southampton’s first museum was duly opened in July 1912.
Rowland Nicholas was appointed as the first honorary unpaid curator. He reported that during the museum’s first year of business, 18,400 people signed the guest book and probably double that number visited the building.
Nicholas served the museum for more than twenty years.
Second World War bombing led to almost 45,000 buildings in Southampton being damaged or destroyed.
Luckily for Sotonians, Tudor House survived with only minor repairs needed.
Today it is Grade 1 listed and a much loved attraction thanks to William Spranger.
Spranger died June 8, 1917.
His funeral took place at St Michael’s Church where he was a Churchwarden and he was buried at the Old Cemetery in Hill Lane.
One tribute at the time said: “If ever a man closed his eyes in the world without having made an enemy it was the late Mr. Spranger.”

PUBLIC Health England may have had its failings due to poor leadership from its Conservative masters , but this is not the time to restructure the backbone of our public health system .
Successful reorganisations take time and planning to get right .
It ’ s a wasteful and inefficient use of our precious resources to use them in this way , whilst we are still in the grip of the Covid-19 pandemic .

Successful reorganisations take time and planning to get right.
It’s a wasteful and inefficient use of our precious resources to use them in this way, whilst we are still in the grip of the Covid-19 pandemic.
The development of an Institute of Health Protection may be a good idea, but it needs to be developed after a thorough review of PHE functions not cobbled together on the back of an envelope and rushed through overnight.
What the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care has announced feels like an effort to shift the blame elsewhere from how he and Prime Minster have handled the pandemic.
Handing the ‘leadership’ of this new institute to someone with no health qualifications who presided over the national test and trace fiasco is a slap in the face to those health experts who have worked tirelessly since February.

I’m not alone in having no confidence in their ability to lead during what remains a national crisis.

He said he hopes the viral video “ encourages other people to do the same ” .
In the clip , filmed and shared by Mr Dietrich ’ s friend Rob Adcock , the pair can be seen going into a Wetherspoons @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the chain ’ s Table App .
The two then transferred the discounted food into plastic containers and took it to several people living on the streets of Manchester .
“ I ’ ve lived and worked in Manchester for just over a year , ” Mr Dietrich said in the video .
“ The one issue I keep seeing is the issue with homelessness.
” The reporter said he himself has lost out on work due to the ongoing pandemic .

“ I suddenly realised that you can ’ t use change any more , you can ’ t use cash , that ’ s something they depend on , ” he said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ out of their income , it ’ s heartbreaking and devastating .

Universities were already in crisis.
Over several decades successive governments – Conservative, Labour and LibDem - have turned universities into businesses and students into merely a revenue stream.
A university system that was once the envy of the world is now in market-driven chaos - many universities are in such a state that they are likely to go bankrupt.
There is only one way to turn our universities back into centres of excellence and that is to take them back into ‘public ownership’, properly financed and administered as a public service.
