Southwater One to be lit up in tribute to toddler
Telford & Wrekin Council will be joining a global initiative to light up landmark buildings in blue as a tribute to a toddler who died of a degenerative neurological condition.
Alfie Evans passed away aged 23 months in April after his parents lost a legal fight to continue his life support.
Since then a campaign to get landmark locations lit up in blue on the evening of Saturday August 25 has been under way - with locations in Glasgow, Belfast, Niagra Falls and Liverpool agreeing to take part. The Evans family are from Liverpool.
Telford & Wrekin Council leader Councillor Shaun Davies said: “We are pleased to support the request to light up Southwater One in blue and purple on Saturday night in memory of Alfie.
“I know that a number of locations have agreed to take part and I hope the evening is a success.”
