More powerful together, let’s make change!

Hey everyone, thank you for coming forward and helping me with this change. My father, Noel Sweeney was driving home from work on the 18th of December 2019 when he was killed by a fallen branch of a tree, obviously as a family this has been a massive loss to us and a huge loss to the community all around, it devastated us all and over the last six weeks we have been trying our hardest to come to terms with this! Three weeks later on the exact same road, a full tree came down and just out of pure luck didn't kill or injure another person or family. From that moment onwards I have been tirelessly campaigning for a change in the way our roads and land are maintained, especially on this road as it is surely a liability to all and I would never want another family to go through what we have had to! After all my searching, It has now came to my attention that the road services northern Ireland and council services have no power when it comes to removing poorly maintained or dangerous trees that are located on private land, which seems to be a recurring problem all over Northern Ireland. If a tree is reported or redeemed unfit and needs removed off private land, it could take weeks for the permission to be given to remove it, this means we as a whole are in danger and at risk of being the victim to this tree or trees while they wait to remove it and there is absolutely nothing anyone can do until they have permission! I don't want anyone to go through the tragedy we have, I don't want anyone to loose someone they love because of lack of power or communication in our communities, or lack of responsibility taken, I don't want this to happen again and be called a freak accident when it could have been changed!

So here's where you come in, I'm asking for your signature of support so that we can get this legislation Into movement, if I can get enough signatures I can take this directly to stormont to be dealt with quickly and efficiently! I have been campaigning non stop to do everything I can to help to remove this nonsense and give the people back the power! Please help me to make this happen!

You might have got this far and think this doesn't matter to you or your signature won't matter, so here's what I want to say to you, six weeks ago I still had my father, my world and this wouldn't of mattered to me either but watching the pain and suffering we as a family are going through I knew I never wanted another family to go through this again due to lack of power and be told it was an accident, my father is gone and there is nothing I can do about that but what I can do is make this change happen so that everyone drives in safety on our roads and that the danger level is reduced quickly. Please support in every way you can!

Thank you, Helen x
