Reinstatement of memorial stones at Welford Cemetery, Leicester
Published by Kevin Straw on Aug 07, 2008
Target: Leicester Council
Region: United Kingdom
Background (Preamble):
Leicester City Council, faced with the safety problem of memorial stones toppling over, solved it by tipping hundreds of them over onto their backs, despite protests from the Polish community.
There is no argument about the safety issue, but another solution could have been found, e.g. using industrial adhesives. As it stands the cemetery looks as though vandals have run amok there.

Petition:
We the undersigned, call on Leicester City Council, to replace the memorial stones now lying flat in Welford Road cemetery.
We feel that this shows disrespect to the dead, and is a slur on the reputation of Leicester City.
