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

So disgusting that the council is being this petty about a few inches. My heart goes out to you.

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