A memorial wall to remember babies who have died could be established in a city centre park.

The project is the idea of the East Kent Baby Memorial Gardens charity which first established a garden in Ashford in 2013.

The group also has a board and plaques in the gardens of the West Faversham Community Centre.

Now its members are hoping to reserve a section of wall in the Westgate Gardens in Canterbury opposite Whitehall Road in an area where there are already military memorials.

A planning application has now been submitted to Canterbury City Council for the proposal showing three metal boards on which up to nearly 90 terracotta tiles, each carrying a baby's name and poignant dates, could be inscribed.

Chris Twydell, who was inspired to help start the charity following the still birth of his first grandson 19 years ago, says the memorials bring comfort to families who are able to remember the lost babies in peaceful and picturesque settings.

He says it will be for families who have lost a baby through miscarriage, still birth or after birth.

"We had to raise £30,000 for the garden in Ashford but here we already have a beautiful garden setting," he said.

"If, as we hope, we get planning permission, we will start to raise awareness of the facility through various agencies, like health visitors, and word of mouth.

"But we have already been asked if we have such a memorial garden in Canterbury

"All we require is that those who successfully apply for a plaque pay £40 towards the cost."
