"Justice for Barry McLean"

Together We Can Reduce Knife Crime

"Ditch the Knife and Cherish Life"

Also our communities who may be effected by knife crime

Our son was murdered due to knife crime on the 28th May 2011 in Burntisland.

The impact on family and friends has been immense and unimaginable; we must all protect our children and our children’s, children.

This petition is not only to achieve justice for our son but to reduce knife crime across our communities by setting an example to those who carry out such horrific acts and know that they can get away with it.

We the undersigned are concerned for the protection of the public who urge our leaders to act now.
