The council finally backed down and agreed to standardize the plot sizes for all children regardless of the marker used. This victory belongs to every one of the 464 people who refused to let them treat our children like second-class citizens. We won this fight for equality and I am …
Im starting this peition to show our council that ALL Children should have the same rights as an Adult plot of land for there garden
Currently the regulations are for a childs grave, are 4ft long by 2.6ft wide.. My sons grave is just 6 Inches to big and those that pay the additional £174 to have a kirbset put on are made to stay within the regulations but those that dont have a kirbset and just fencing can have the same size as an Adult plot.. It should be the same regulations for ALL Children, not just those with kirbsets
Our children was born, they have rights, let them have the same rights as anyone else in the grave yard
The council thinks they can hide behind these insulting size restrictions while my son rests in the ground. We need to hit this milestone before I hand these names over to the officials who refuse to treat our children with basic human decency.

Unbelievable. Common sense needs to prevail here. Let them have the space they need.

Ridiculous rules. Why does a grave size depend on money or fences? Let these poor kids rest properly.

Change the rules already. It is cruel to penalize families like this.

This is just heartbreaking. A child is a child and they deserve respect regardless of the rules. Fix this now.
