We demand that Greenwich Council reinstates the Lee Rigby Memorial
Rejected
21 signatures
What the petition asks
This was the first memorial to Lee Rigby and has been made and visited by people from all over the country. The memorial is situated at the spot that Lee was murdered. Rather than being unsightly as the Council claims the site is regularly maintained by a number of dedicated locals.
The only other memorial is in a Church that is currently closed and isn't accessible 24 hours a day as the Memorial is.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
