Create a memorial garden for all the people who have lost lives from covid 19.

Rejected 15 signatures

What the petition asks

This has been a tragic time and devastated so many families. So many wonderful men, women and children have been taken, through covid. Those on the front line especially. I would like government to consider creating a memorial garden for those people to be remembered, and for families to unite.
This would follow up their commitment to overcoming this terrible virus and bringing comfort for so many. It would give a place for people to show thier respect for all those wonderful front line workers, remember loved ones and remain a place and event in history for future generations. The will and resources were found to create the nightingale hospital, I'm sure a similar spirit and will can be found for a memorial garden.
