We urge Whitnash Town Council to revoke their request for the family of Ted Ellard to remove tributes from Ted’s bench in Whitnash, Leamington Spa.

Ted’s bench has become central to our community in whitnash and is visited daily by our very own residents as well as residents from neighbouring towns.

Ted’s family wanted to provide a place where the community could sit, remember our local hero ‘Little Ted’ and reflect in a beautiful and welcoming area. This has certainly been achieved and brings so much joy to our local community.

Please support us in signing this petition in the hope that our local council will do the right thing and continue to allow family, friends and residents the right to leave flowers, a balloon and similar tributes to a very special little boy. A boy that has touched the lives of our community and beyond.
