Covid Memorial Speech, Mayor Woodbridge. 

23 March 2023.

"Today, we mark three years since the first Covid-19 lockdown.

A lot has changed since those early days of the pandemic. As we move back towards a sense of normality, it is important to remember those we lost, the sacrifices many of us made to keep others safe and the community spirit that grew from such a profound global event.

Last year, Covid memorial benches were placed around the Borough as a lasting tribute to those we have lost. They will not be forgotten and will always have a place in our community.

Going forward, I hope this day will not just act as a day of remembrance, but as an opportunity to reflect on the resilience, solidarity and camaraderie shown over the past few years and to build a closer community for the future.

Thank you and I hope you have a peaceful day."
