Ben Robinson has been a magnificent servant to Burton Albion Football Club and the people of Burton. Thanks to his hard work and dedication he has steered our town’s football club from non-league to the Championship. His commitment to Burton Albion Community Trust has helped thousands of young people in East Staffordshire get fit and healthy. His contribution and his commitment to the town is remarkable. We the undersigned call on East Staffordshire Borough Council to name a road in honour of Ben Robinson BEM in recognition of all he has done for our town.

Im a wolves fan, but burton is my local team and ive seen how they have risen from the non-leagues into the championship and they wouldnt of done it without the backing of Mr. Ben Robinson.

I would suggest Princess Way is renamed "Ben Robinson Way" in honour of our fantastic chairman. The clubs success not only brings pride to the town but also brings investment and growth to Burton.

Ben is the most hardworking man I know and I should know as I had the pleasure of working for him. There is a true essence of family values at Burton Albion, which is why their achievement with Ben at the helm is even more amazing!!

I'm not a Burton fan but I am a local of over 30 years. Mr. Robinson deserves this for what he's done for the town's reputation. I'd even go so far as renaming Princess Way to "Ben Robinson Way".

I am fully behind Andrew and this deserved gesture towards a very humble man in Ben Robinson, for all he has done for his club and the town of Burton-on-Trent. Personally, I am eternally grateful for his trust in myself to represent Burton Albion as Official Club Photographer.
