It can be particularly devastating for families and loved ones when headstones are damaged, trinkets and ornaments left by loved-ones have been thrown around the cemetery and smashed up. Damage at the Willenhall Lawn Cemetery is frequent and vandalism against gravestones is rife. This petition is a plea to the local council. Anyone who has a loved one buried at Willenhall Lawn Cemetery frequently discover that their grave has been damaged. The council should strongly consider implementing the use of CCTV suveillance so that such crimes of vandalism can be stopped. CCTV could prevent damage to lots of graves. No one should be able to get away with vandalism and theft at a cemetery. It is very upsetting for all those whose loved ones' final place of rest is the targeted and personal items left by loved ones are stolen. Please show your support for the use of CCTV at Willenhall Lawn Cemetery by signing the following petition.

I spent the morning clearing broken glass from my father’s plot and the sheer amount of senseless destruction is becoming unbearable. I am spending my time mailing these signatures to the council office so they finally recognize that families are tired of burying their loved ones only to watch their memory being desecrated.

Seeing this momentum grow brings me such relief because no family should have to worry about finding their loved one's grave desecrated. It is clear that we are all united by the pain of this recurring heartbreak. I am feeling more hopeful than ever that we can finally force the council to act.

I'm hoping someone takes notice after being informed by someone who works there that, "birds are the cause of it."

Very upsetting that this is necessary. I've just heard today 4th July 2021 that once again some graves have been vandalised, I'm yet to visit to see if our family graves have been targeted, sincere sympathy to anyone else that is affected by this. TB

Fed up with arriving to find my dads flowers ripped out and scattered everywhere. Its heart breaking and the council need to act now and put cameras up.
