Save ASHLEY O'BRIEN's Memorial

Target: Cheshire West and Chester Council
Region: United Kingdom
Petition Background (Preamble):
On the 31 January 2009, Ashley O'Brien (17) was tragically killed whilst walking home along Road One on Winsford Industrial Estate.
A Memorial was subsequently erected, consisting of a bench, paved area, flowers and a photograph and small plaque. This was completed through donations received from friends and local businesses, who recognised that this tragedy must not be forgotten.
The memorial is intended to provide a safe place for all those who wish to publicly remember Ashley.
It was specifically placed in a position that was sympathetic to the surroundings, and was done in full consultation with the council. However council objections have now been raised that may result in much of the memorial being removed.
The purpose of this petition is to gather support, for the council policy to be revised so that his memorial can be saved in its current.
We thank everyone for their support.
