Kizz, a vibrant spirit who lost his life tragically on New Year's Eve, was not just a friend to many of us but a part of our community in Telford. His memorial at the Bridge near Hadley serves as a quiet and peaceful place, meticulously kept by his friends and family. It's not just a shrine, but a safe haven where we can reflect, remember Kizz and feel closer to a friend who left us too soon.

Now, we're faced with the disheartening news that our council plans to expunge this significant memorial, intending to paint over the walls. This is not a neglected area; it is a place filled with love, care, and tidiness maintained by those who cherished Kizz.

Removing this memorial will take away the only physical place we have to connect with Kizz. It does not only hold memories of a valued friend but also stands as a symbol of the community bond we have in Telford. Our plea is not just about preserving a wall, it's about preserving the essence of our unity and our shared affection and memories of Kizz.

We ask the council to respect our values and sentiments by ensuring Kizz's memorial remains intact. Let the memorial be a reminder that every life lost is still remembered, every friend departed is still amongst us in spirit.

Join us in appealing to the council to sustain Kizz's Memorial Shrine at the Bridge near Hadley. Stand with us in preserving our shared remembrances and signed friendships on the walls of our community. Please, sign this petition.
