Closed 110 signatures

What the petition asks

Please create a fitting tribute to the key workers who left their families to help the public on the front line of the fight against Covid-19 and in doing so made the ultimate sacrifice.
Each key worker to be named on the memorial and their sacrifice never forgotten.
The public owe a great debt to the men and women who knowingly put themselves in harms way to protect the wider public in an unprecedented national medical emergency.

These men and women were key to the maintenance of society in this time of need.

A fitting and lasting tribute should be the very least a grateful nation can provide.

Somewhere for the families to seek comfort and solace.
Somewhere for children to attend and remember their parents with pride.

May they never be forgotten.
