Guest Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 An online petition has been started to try and stop the destruction of the Coventry playground in Merthyr Tydfil that was built as a memorial to the children who died in the disaster.The petition address is www.petitiononline.com/aberfan/petition.html Send this to everyone you know... At 9.15am on October 21st 1966 144 people died when a coal tip collapsed onto a primary school in Aberfan, South Wales. 116 of the victims were children. The pictures from the time were truely horrifying. After the disaster the people of Coventry paid for a memorial playground to be built as a lasting memorial to the dead. Now, the disgraceful Merthyr Housing Association plan to destroy the playground to build houses. THEY ARE LIKE GRAVE ROBBERS IN THE NIGHT. An online petition to stop this development has been launched at www.petitiononline.com/aberfan/petition.html This was taken from offical site please sign and pass it on to as many people as you can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
