Rejected petition statue in Trafalgar square dedicated to Key Workers

Empty plinth in Trafalgar square should have a statue dedicated to key workers with everyone of those that have lost their lives named on it.

More details

the UK people owe Key works a debt of gratitude and many have lost their lives by continuing to treat the sick and supporting the infrastructure allowing us all to continue to live i believe that the Key workers of this country should be recognised for their dedication and that this could be achieved and be a memorial to that lost their lives to Covid -19.
