February 23, 2009 12:00 AM

Daffodils. The Lib Dem Councillors for Woolton ward are calling on the City Council to mark the 50th anniversary in Liverpool of the Marie Curie cancer charity .

Cllrs Malcolm Kelly, Barbara Mace and Barbara Collinge have submitted a motion for the next full council meeting on March 4th. If the motion doesn't get all party support, it is likely to be discussed at one of the Council's select committees.

Says Malcolm: "There is a lot we want to do to mark this year, but as a start we want to make sure that all the council buildings give people the chance to see and wear the daffodil symbol"

The text of the motion is below:

Council notes that 2009 is the 50th anniversary of Marie Curie in Liverpool.

Council applauds this organisation and other cancer support groups that provide vital assistance to thousands of cancer suffers across the City.

Council believes that there is a need to produce 'an end of life' strategy across partner organisations in the city to ensure patients receive the very best care possible.

Council requests the Chief Executive to make arrangements to provide 'daffodil' boxes in all Council buildings to enable all staff and visitors to show their support for the charity by wearing a yellow daffodil.
