Lodged by Christine Grahame Standard Motion 19 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament recognises the efforts of the Galashiels community to honour the memory of Police Constable Sean Wright, who passed away in April 2023; believes that PC Wright made a significant contribution to policing in the region, particularly through his support of TD1 Youth Hub and attendance at its evening drop-ins for young people between 10 and 26 years of age, to help make plans to offer them new opportunities and activities; notes that, following his passing, TD1 has helped organise three community walks, led and planned by Dougie Johnston from the Hike & Bike Hub in Galashiels, in his memory, which attracted 30 to 40 participants; understands that TD1 and Hike and Bike Hub plan to build on this and to create options for the young people at TD1 to learn skills that will allow them to explore and appreciate the surrounding countryside of Galashiels, and beyond, with a possible link with the annual Galashiels Walking Festival; believes that this work is a fitting tribute to PC Wright’s legacy, and wishes all involved the best for their future plans.
