Growing up in Liverpool, I was always surrounded by the laughter and joy that Sir Ken Dodd brought into our homes. This legendary Scouser not only entertained us with his unique style of comedy but also filled our lives with happiness and pride. Sir Ken Dodd, beloved by many, was once voted the greatest scouser in a newspaper poll—testament to his cherished status in our community.

Blackpool has already honoured him by naming a road in his honour, recognising the impact he had on British comedy and the enduring legacy he left behind. It is time for Liverpool to show the same level of respect and admiration by naming a road after him in his hometown.

This recognition is not merely about naming a stretch of road; it symbolizes cherishing our cultural icons who have shaped British entertainment and brought international acclaim to Liverpool. Sir Ken Dodd's contributions to comedy spanned decades, making him an integral part of our cultural heritage, deserving of this lasting tribute.

Liverpool has a longstanding tradition of celebrating its illustrious sons and daughters. Renaming a road in honour of Sir Ken Dodd would serve as a visible reminder of the joy he spread across our city and beyond. Let's commemorate his success and ensure that his legacy is preserved for future generations.

I urge the Liverpool City Council to act on this proposal and bring it to fruition. This small yet significant gesture would place Sir Ken Dodd permanently in the heart of our city, where he belongs.

Please join me in this endeavour to honour a great Scouser. Sign this petition to get a road in Liverpool named after Sir Ken Dodd, and let Liverpool shine as the city that honours its heroes with pride and fondness.
