What the petition asks
I would like to start a campaign to get a memorial put in place in Mary Steven’s Park or locally for all those that lost their lives to covid.
There are a lot of people who didn’t get to have proper funerals or memorial services or even get to say goodbye and I feel like this would be a good thing in the community for people to see.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
