Grieving Aunt launches campaign in memory of Violet-Grace
Published 4th Apr 2017

The grieving aunt of Violet-Grace Youens has launched a campaign to slow down the road where Violet-Grace was killed.

Lisa Leonard started the petition three days ago and it has now been signed by almost 4,000 well-wishers.

Lisa, and Violet-Grace’s family, want to get speed bumps added to Prescot Road in St. Helens, where four-year-old Violet-Grace lost her life after being hit by a suspected stolen car.

Lisa, 42, would also like a pedestrian crossing put in place with signs saying “slow down for Violet”.
