Maz I signed for my mum as well the only way is if you have another address i.e. Yahoo, Hotmail or whatever i do have two emails as I have an old address from the time I did not have a computer of my own and used an internet cafe. It is easy to open either a yahoo or hotmail if you are really want to sign it again, and you never know when you might be glad to have another address. Good Luck Pat x

I have signed. I was at college in Cardiff when it happened. I have never forgotten that time. Many of the guys went to help, a tragedy which touched so many families and could have been avoided. The people of Coventry understood, they lost so many and the bombed out catherdal, next to the one which rose from the ashes is a reminder of what happened, and forgiveness, but also that it should never happen again. The playground is there for us to never forget J.A

Done it and am sending it on. This is incredible. Would like to sign for my mum (she doesn't have an e-mail) but it won't let me use my addy twice. Does anyone know a way around this? Maz. XX

I have also added my name to this petition. Not only should this tragedy be remembered for the lives that were lost but also for the dreadful mistakes that were made which enabled it to happen. We must never become complacent again about safety. The anniversary is on 21st October. Marion

Thanks for supporting this, I remember seeing a documentary about this not too long ago and it was terrible. I have forwarded it to my daughter who has a large address book too and asked her to send it to everybody. Could you imagine this happening anywhere else Diane

Thanks Diane for bringing this to our attention. I have also signed. Jill

Diane, Thank you for letting us know how to sign the petition. I was young when this disaster happened but it remains a vivid memory. Its a disgrace, I am appalled that the Housing Association would even suggest doing something like this. I have signed. Pat x

This is appalling.... I've signed and will be forwarding this to all the people i know!!

Thanks. signed. Joy

Thanks Diane. I've just signed (no 4507).

Thanks for the address Diane, I've just added to it. It's bloody awful, makes me spit bullets. Jo.

I've signed.

I must go and read about this. It was a terrible disater. A young teacher who had recently left the college that I attended was amongst those killed together with so many children. I can't believe that the council would even think about selling the land. That's awful.

Hi, The people of Coventry collected the money to pay for the playground and are not happy about this. Gwynne

That is too incredible. Please give us the website for the petition. Thanks. Joy

Just read about this on another site I go on. apparently the council is going to sell off the playground memorial to this disaster for housing. Is nothing sacred. There is an online petition to try and stop it. Diane
