Please sign and help my Baby Cole James Walker and his angel friends to have the garden they deserve! I have recieved a letter from my local council today telling me to remove my sons kerb edging from his "garden" They have also asked me to remove his staked vase due to trip hazards. I am a mummy to an angel, the only thing I can do is to make his garden nice and give him fresh flowers. I can't do the normal things a mummy can do, kisses, cuddles etc. They have siad that I have to remove them within two weeks or they will remove them. The council have also said that I can pay for a kerb surround from a stone mason. Surley if i do this then a trip hazard can still occur? Why do they want to walk on my son's grave anyway? I have met many angel mummy's and dadd'y's and another one's been asked to do the same. Please sign so Cole and his angel friends can have the gardens they deserve. Katy xxx

 

My Friend Cheryl's daugther Sienna - mae is also a victim of Doncaster Councils campaign, she's been asked to remove items too!  We need you to sign xx

The number of people reaching out to share their own experiences with similar site restrictions has been overwhelming. It is clear that this is not just about one garden but about the way we are permitted to honor those we have lost. I am currently working to organize these stories so we can present a unified request to the council regarding their current policy.

Reaching one hundred signatures brings a quiet sense of comfort as I realize how many people recognize the importance of these small memorial gardens. It is deeply moving to see so many strangers validate the need to honor our children in this way.

The momentum behind this petition is growing as we approach one hundred signatures. Reaching this milestone will provide a meaningful level of visible support when we present our concerns to the council. Please take a moment to pass this link to someone who might understand the importance of preserving these gardens.

This is just heartless. Leave these poor parents alone and let them grieve in peace, it hurts nobody!

I cant believe they are actually doing this. So much for compassion. Just let them keep the gardens exactly how they are!

Ridiculous red tape. The council needs to find something better to do with their time than harass grieving families.

Who do these people think they are? My thoughts are with you all.
