Leo Ross Memorial Visit with Christ Church School

I joined students and staff from Christ Church C of E Secondary Academy and local residents to see the unveiling of the new mural on a bridge in Trittiford Mill Park in memory of Leo Ross.

Created by artists Louise Garman and Andy Smith, with help from the students, the piece is a powerful tribute - not only remembering Leo, but reflecting the strength and unity of the local community.

It was moving to see so many people involved, from young people to local volunteers from the Billesley Bin Baggers who have worked incredibly hard to care for, clean up, and restore the space.

A reminder of the importance of community, remembrance and coming together has real community spirit, and it was great to see so many people out enjoying the day.
