“A lot of people just think councils are just for collecting your bins and repairing the carriageways.”
Perhaps the council should reflect on that part of their statement and focus on actually fixing roads instead of sending letters to people to take down personal tributes from their own properties. This feels well out of the remit of a council.
Illegally parked cars? Council couldn’t give a toss. But heaven forbid displaying a pink ribbon on your own door!
They will do fuck all if you report harassment or abuse from neighbours. Or if you report people for piling waste in their garden.
But if you have a tribute for children that died in a horrific terrorist attack.
Time for the council to step in and solve the problem.
So she won’t be able to display a Christmas wreath on her OWN front door either? Madness.
I don’t understand why people are triggered by these ribbons. The council is suggesting a permanent memorial, will that not be as triggering?
>The council is also considering a permanent memorial in the future, although nothing has been set in stone
Smartarse journalist.
Just when I think councils can’t be more callous they get worse
“there were some members of the community who were finding it emotionally triggering to see them every day.”
Sounds like these people need to engage in coping strategies or therapy rather than trying to force the community to pander to them.
Im guessing the request is for parks, benches, council owned property etc. The picture is indicating a private house – which of course, the council has very little say in.
Seems supicuous to me…
Seems to be no reporting on who the ‘parts of the community’ are.
The only ones I can think of would be the families and friends of the victims. Which would be reasonable.
Could the council ask them to remove it, if they put them inside their windows instead?
My partner works for the council and was told it was the victims families that made the request. Pretty reasonable if you ask me. Imagine not being able to go anywhere without being reminded everywhere you go.
Actually makes sense.
Yes people want to memorialise it, but equally, people that suffered through it, and/or lost loved ones don’t want the reminder every fucking day.
I’ll assume that those triggered by them have more right to express this , than a community who care but maybe weren’t as closely involved . Let it be . This is non news tbh
If it was me, I would tell the council to shove their letters up there arses
It’s… I get it. As long as it’s just an ask and not a demand, I don’t see anything wrong with it – especially since it sounds like those emotionally distressed by the ribbons are those close to the victims.
