I personally knew Robbie and although I never knew his family personally but what I do know is recently I've spoke to Robbies mother and I do know this would mean the absolute world to the entire family if Robbies bench could be relocated to Blairs cemetery so please please please consider this as Robbies mother and family have already said they would keep up the maintenance of the area where it would be placed to me it's benefiting the council not doing any harm.. ❤️Emma Dougherty (Lisburn, 2024-07-05)

I lost a family member and know how much it would mean to bring a family of loved one closer together. Allow this lady and family to feel comfort in the fact they are at rest in their home town and as much as this doesn’t mean much to some people you may understand when you have lost someone and they feel like they are on their own. I’m sure it will bring this lady much comfort.Zena Foord (Lisburn, 2024-07-05)

Knowing Alison and her family for many years and i know they are all Lisburn citizens for many generations and are a very well known and respected family! And after the loss they have endeavoured they deserve to be able too somewhere close by to mourn their son and feel him around them and other loved ones! What harm would it do allowing this if it can make a grieving family a little bit off happiness do the decent thing xxCathy Dowell (Lisburn, 2024-07-05)

Knew wee Robbie well and what a fun loving young man he was! His parents Alison & Vernon along with his brothers, son, extended family and friends should all be able too attend his place of remembrance in our home city to this family as Robbie wishes was to be cremated for them this is the same as attending a loved one’s grave! And to have him remembered alongside there other loved ones would be absolutely beautiful I fully support this family 💯 good luck to all the Fleming family 🙏❤️XxxxAbbey Leathem (Lisburn, 2024-07-06)

Please do the decent thing and let this happenMichael Riley (Moira, 2024-07-06)

Young Robbie was a friend of my son and I also know his mum Alison and Dad Vernon they all Lisburn locals and a loving close family and this would really mean a lot to them a long with other family and friends to be able too get to visit his bench and being in Lisburn would make that more possible for everyone who knew and loved him. Good luck Alison I really hope you get your wish you deserve it so much love ❤️Alison Graham (Lisburn, 2024-07-06)

Have known Vernon most off my life and can confirm that him and his wife family are all Lisburn citizens who have been left badly impacted by the loss off their son and other loved ones since! This would mean so much to this family and as you can see from the pictures it will be very well maintained and will help improve the piece off land at Blairs cemetery where there sons bench definitely merits a place as he was a very well known and loved young man by the whole Lisburn community! I honestly don’t understand why anyone would question this to them this is like attending a loved ones grave I’m sure nobody who knows how the loss off such a close loved one would dispute this as you could not even bare to imagine being restricted from a loved ones resting place! Honestly Vernon I’m so sorry that you your wife and family have now been faced with this situation! I wish you all the luck in the world mate i really hope the people dealing with this see sense soon.Andrew Carson (Lisburn, 2024-07-08)

Alison has lost her son. It is the least we can do as her community to support her in her wishes. Instead of causing her anymore pain could we instead afford her comfort and peaceSandra Graham (HILLSBOROUGH, 2024-07-10)

I’m signing because I believe this memorial bench for Robbie Fleming should be relocated to Blaris given the fact that Lisburn is his home town. Also due to the fact there is now a space left beside loved family members graves it makes perfect sense to have this moved nearby so that the family can visit their loved ones and have this lovely memorial nearby.Lisa Dougherty (Lisburn, 2024-07-10)
